Finally finished my Kinetic 1:48 F-104G. I build it as an RF-104G Starfighter of 306 Squadron, Royal Netherlands Airforce. I used stencil decals provided by the Dutch Starfighter Foundation, who are restoring a 1:1 F-104 and made a decalsheet to complement the Kinetic release of their Starfghter. In addition, I used a DACO Orpheus pod to turn my model into an RF-104G, as used by 306 Squadron Royal Netherlands Airforce.

What show stopper! Love the blurred ground and the perspex mount- really looks the part like its speeding along and has been caught in a photograph. Impressive painting and detailing too- just tremendous.

Thank you for the kind words all!
Thanks! Glad you like that detail. The visors were often decorated with colourful figures, in the case of 306 Squadron a giraffe wearing a flight helmet and with a camera around its neck, because that’s what the squadron did: Stick out their necks to photograph strategic positions.
