I have the DACO 104 update set crew ladder ill paint up to go with it .

Excellent result, Brian!
Painting is fantastic!
Very nice model of one of my most favorite planes, Brian (@f-104nut). well done.
That silver look is so cool! This plane oozes speed, Brian @f-104nut. Great work!
A very nice Starfighter, Brian @f-104nut
The painting is done superbly.
Great build, and beautiful metallic work- I have some airframes I will be spraying up in the next few weeks, so this is great inspiration for me to get on with it. Could you explain how you produced a future/black wash for the wheel wells? Also, if you didn't mind, could you include a pic of the wheel wells?
I hope my models come close to what you achieved with Tamiya silver. I plan to use that, and I have some Vallejo metallic acrylics I hope to use for exhaust areas, etc.
Nice! You nailed the natural metal.
NMF looks great, and overall a lovely 104! Well done.
Great job, Brian! NMF is awesome!
Excellent Brian (@f-104nut). I definitely like those metallic Starfighters.
It looks really good. Thumbs up.
This is a great result, well worth the time you spent
Excellent build. As realistic NMF I’ve seen.
Well done, Brian.
Beautiful F-104 with a stunning NMF. Really like the tone variations in the different panels.
Congrats with this great piece of work.
Amazingly well done metallic finish. I’m working on a P51 now and I hope I can finish it half as good as you did here.
What they all said - a real NMF masterpiece!
Great job, Brian. Finish looks really nice, well done.
