1/72 AMT / Ertl F-104

Gallery Article by Somchai "Blackeyes"

This is my LOCKHEED F-104 IN red....I like to think of it as the "Ferrari Model".  For decals I used the Museum collection by "Studio 27" out of Japan.  For the red for the paint scheme I used the Super Italian Red No. 158 from Gunze.  This is a solvent based acrylic paint.

I made new position and formation lights on the air intakes and fuselage.  I cut the canopy so I could pose it in the open position.
