Hello from İzmir, the sunny city of Turkey,
This is my 1/48 scale Hasegawa F-104 G Starfighter in Turkish Air Force Markings. As
the first Starfighters arrived from the USA to Turkey, this one is bare metal overall except wings and radome. I used Aires resin C2 ejection seat, Eduard Photo etch set for
the cockpit and exterior for some places. Decals are Turquise decals (flags and square force) and Babibi decals (stencils and numbers).

I used Alclad 2 for the painting (aluminium,dull
alu. and polished aluminium are used), for the nozzle area I used a mixture of alclad aluminium and burnt metal.
This model Won the second prize in "Turkish F-104 Starfighters" category, in the Turkish Air Force Museum Competition 2011, Ankara. It's an Honor for me to won this prize in 100th anniversary year of Turkish Air Force.
Happy modelling...
Baran Cakmak
