Joe, Steve, thanks so much! I have a small update on the F-104S, here. I got the wheels and gear bay doors painted and I applied the wash of Pledge Floor Wax diluted with Acryl Black Paint. I also did some post shading on the -104 itself using Tamiya Smoke. I did some more oil work on the fuselage as well since these jets got a little grimy. I also painted the dielectric panels using Vallejo Iragi Sand. Almost ready to get some Gloss Varnish on and start decaling.

Regards,

Ian

Small update on the Italian F-104. I got the wheels and landing gear installed so she is standing up now. Lots of actuators and struts on the gear but everything fit pretty well. The Hasegawa seat was kind of plain so I added some lead foil straps along with wire and some spare photo etch items. I rounded that out with a wash of Pledge Floor Wax diluted with Acryl Flat Black. Just about ready for some Gloss Varnish and decals.

Regards,

Ian
