  "1/48 Hasegawa F-104S Starfighter"

  by Alberto Borzellino

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

  I added Aires cockpit which is for the "G" type so I worked some about 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 itìs great!

  Insignias are about 18à group, 37°wing based on Birgi airbase in Sicily, the Ace of Stick on the insignia was temporarily used on this aircraft 37-47 in 1985. in particular this plane Bu.No 6918  was ex 36°wing and after NODA-47 till the reconstitution on the 37°wing in 1984.
