1/48 YF-104A -1-L0 55-26-969 83rd FIS Hamilton AFB , CA. 1958 ( Hasegawa )

[F-104nut]

Started on this last year and slowly been working on it . Using the Hasegawa kit with the Cutting edge cockpit and Victorymodel decals . This has been a slow project due to the fact that to go back and do lots of sanding cause of scratched the plastic. Overall aiframe was sprayed with 2-3 coats of Tamlya L-11 silver . Once dry and went back and masked the various metal sections off spraying mixes of Tamiya LP paints and Mr Color super mettalics . I used the Eduard panel mask set which really helps out. Grey panel on tail and nose cone was sprayed with AK real colors ADC grey . Anti glare panel on early 104's was a medium green which i used Tamiya LP-31 IJN . Next up to spray clear gloss foe decals . Aslo nosted on the YF-104A had overall metal wings also . So i had to do somethin different
