I think the Starfighter is one of the nicest looking planes.  Sure its no Phantom, but I have certainly made enough of these to say, Yep, I like em'.

This is the 1/48 Hasegawa F-104J built out of the box. Add on are putty to cover the gun, Belcher Bits Vicon pod and of course Belcher Bits decals. Oh, and a pilot from the stash.

Had to do a Starfighter wheels up. Looks faster this way. The stand is from a old 1/72 model which was tossed recently. Sure it doesn't fit well, but if you only look at it from the right side then you would never notice. One of the photos shows my old Tiger from 1977 and a CF-18 Tiger Hornet.
