Looks like a good, trouble-free kit. Am I right?

@Robert this is an old kit from Hasegawa, so there are some issues with zone around air intakes on fuselage that requires filling and sanding. The kit instructions have step to glue firstly front fuselage, later aft one and air intakes. I have seen a video where these steps are not followed and glue half left and half right using the parts from the kit (fwd+aft) previously glued. Maybe this option is better choise to avoid problems.

I have had to solve some minor problems filling on underfuselage too. In fact, I need to correct more them after priming….

I intend to build the same kit the other day, so it is good to know its vices beforehand 😉

Thanks @Guy. After some minor touches on model surfaces (filling and sanding), I have begun the painting phase.

Very nice! Which colour did you use for the aircraft grey?

@Alex Japo F-104s, I think that have 2 mixes for FS16173 ADC Grey. One more blueish (you can use RC221) and one more neutral (you can use H57). If you see pics for real aircraft, in this case the best match is Gunze H57.

Thanks, I still have ADC grey from extracrylics, I hope it has not dried out...
