OK, F 104 Starfighter...
Since we started with the sale of F 104 wooden kit, it is fair that make one model and show the building process.
This development will show which parts still need to be made and offer (canopy, aluminum tubes, retracts, hinges, etc...).
That will raise Starfighter wooden kit on next level and help customer to find all parts on one place.
Finish model give opportunity to made all sets for scale look fuselage & wing surface.
Finally, quarter scale F 104 Starfighter is fantastic jet model and new challenge for me.
So, many reasons...
This introduction is like as a justification to wife why another jet model...
Damiano made great job, concept of this kit is different from some I made earlier. Applied solutions immediately show that this is the work of mechanical engineers. Parts are assembled as a "Puzzle", fit very well, no need for plan, for assembling drawing is just enough. Everything is assembled very quickly...
First I prepare a lot of pins...
I started F 104 making with tip tanks. Tanks are huge - 1,3 meter long!!!
