Helloguys.I built this model for the far out far east GB here on ARC.This is the good old esci/italeri f-104A starfighter.I like this old starfighter kits a lot.This is my third of forth so far.I made a lot of scratchbuilt upgrades in the cockpit and used a vacuform windshield and canopy.Also I made a new pittotube using a needle.The paints used are Gunze acrylics.The rest is OOB.

Really nice build and glad to see it in something other than German, American or Italian markings. As to the ESCI kit, still have a quite a few from when they were first released. You know how it is......got have it, sniff/fondle the plastic, look thru the instructions....then poof, into the closet.

Really well done Dragan I like it a lot, I also think all original Pakistani F-104A were in natural metal finish but, during the war with India a Squadron of Jordanian 104 was loaned to Pakistan. Can I suggest you to just add formation and position lights to this magnificent build? Just a drop of red, orange, green and silver paint ...
