Man I love the 104 That's a different color scheme. Another very nice build CL

Very nice painting! What did you think of the Daco wings? I found them nice and thin but the 2 halves fit very poor to each other, especially at the tips.

thanks all

I like the Dako set, have had no bigger problem.removed the pins and went good together, in the next F-104 I wil use more of the detailed parts and weapons

That's very nice CL - Superb work on the NMF.

What did the AM wings offer? was it dropped flaps and slats?

[Cherrylock]

Flap and Slat are single parts in Hasegawa and on the Dako kit, Hasegawa has made lot of rivet holes on wings, flap, slat and ruder, on the orginal non of this is riveted, is made from solid alu with maschining and acid-treat so all this holes must be closed or chanched the parts, that is was the kit can and a wishes you have on this kit.
