1/48 Hasegawa F-104S ASA M
It’s officially down . I present the awesome 1/48 Hasegawa F-104S ASA M. I used the DACO Starfighter update set , Tauro decals , Master Brass Pitot tube and Royal Resin wheels , cutting edge ejection seat . Painted with Mr. Paint , Alclad and Tamiya .I won’t be doing open canopy again. To much of a pain ! Enjoy 🙂

Outstanding “Missile With A Man In It,” Brian It will be a shame if you do no more open canopy aircraft … you do the inside “office” so well!

All your models are finished to a consistently high standard, Brian, this one looks just great.

Brian, I’ve noticed that no matter how its painted a 104 always looks fast.
This is the type of paint scheme that has to be done well to be interesting, and that’s what you’ve done here. Well done !

Great looking 104! This is a scheme not seen often on one, and it looks really nice. Very clean build, and your cockpit looks fantastic from what I can see of it.

Brian … nice and sharp looking F-104. No matter at what angle a STARFIGHTER is seen it always looks fast and ready too go. That interior looks very well done and detailed. I am one that always wants a figure in the cockpit, but I must say … this one has no need for one. Nice work.

Nice build, great detail.

Very impressive Brian !!!! You really captured the look of a “Missile with a man in it”………………… The open canopy was well worth the troubles. It really helps to show off all of the details in the cockpit better.

Wow, very well done. In 1999 I was riding on a train from Naples to Rome and saw an F-104 flying overhead. It looked like nothing else in the sky.
