This is my F-104 Starfighter ("Spillone" in Italian slang).  The model is based on the 1/48 Hasegawa kit; first of all I erased some of the rivets on wings and fuselage with liquid putty, real F-104's do not have those all rivets!

I added an Aires cockpit which is for the "G" type, so I worked some on the armament panel; seat is from Cutting Edge, in my opinion the most real in the aftermarket world. Also the Engine nozzle is from Aires and it is great!
