First setp is to eliminate all the too deep engraved panel lines using CA glue

This is a very old build of the Italeri F-104G.

First Eduard model I have built. The model is great and very well detailed. It was the profipack box, it means PE parts ...

Opening the radar cone

First step was to remove the front fuselage

Using some templates the panel lines were done.

Here the aircraft nose, in two parts. I can not see the advantages to have a nose in two parts in this case...

Here the box cover from HTC

Old decals, just to show how old are this model.

Build starts with the cockpit. Details are great !

This is the old Italeri model that I had to rescribe all around.

An old model improved using some resin, PE and home made parts.

The box. Note the price still in Francs....I'm really getting old....

I always wanted to build a Portuguese GINA, with the Meng's model I could start my project.

PE parts placed on the cockpit

Cockpit details added

Cockpit main parts ready to be imporved.

Hi guys, here is the aircraft I want to represent. I like the fact to have parts of the aircraft not painted.

I will do the 4945 aircraft instead of the 4947.

Here is the cockpit almost ready. I used PE parts from Eduard to improve the kit parts.
