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 π

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.

π … Greetings … π :
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.
