I'm building this one with Testor's Non-Toxic tube glue - the blue label tube that people frequently talk down. "Oh, that doesn't really work, the parts fall off after a year." is a typical complaint.
I've been using the non-toxic blue label Liquid Cement for over two decades now, and I've never had a part fall off because the glue 'didn't work'. The liquid happily melts pieces of styrene together, just like the poisonous stuff. But its not stinky, doesn't give you a head ache, and has a pleasant, fruity odor that goes away when its dry. So you can tell when its dry.

Here's the generally attractive fuselage, cockpit tub, landing gear, replica of the Lockheed C2 ejection seat and the instrument panel cover / glare shield. As you can see, the engine intakes and 'mice' + boundary layer splitters all went together and look good. The aft fuselage also looks good, although I have a uneasy feeling that I should have assembled and painted the afterburner exhaust and trapped it between the halves of the aft fuselage...
The mass-flow of the Phantom J-79 that Fiat and Lockheed chose for the F-104S meant that it is said to have noticeably larger intake and associated ducting, larger aft fuselage, etc. This kit, while generally nice, cannot be both an F-104G and an F-104S
On the good news/bad news front, there is a luggage pod in the middle of the parts tree above. On the bad news side, the too skinny wing tank halves visible above simply aren't contenders.

Found someone to trade with! Thank you! ^w^
Ever since I got my May I've just used my littlefee heads on her body. While I love the bobblehead look I find it sad that I dont use the realfee May head at all. I like her but she just doesnt get any attention and I've found that I prefer May in other people's photos.
BUT I really love Mari's round and cute face. I'm not interested in buying a whole doll just for the head though, so I was thinking that maybe someone here was about to order a realfee May or realfee Soso? And maybe be kind enough to trade with me?
I'm looking for an even trade, maybe not in value but we'll share the shipping cost. I'm happy to offer a greater value than what a blank Mari head would be worth, as long as someone would be willing to trade with me ^w^
I'm looking for a realfee Mari head with no face-up and in natural skin. I'd love to have the sleeping head as well but first and foremost the OE.
I have the following things to offer:
- Realfee May with default face-up. She's natural skin (she looks white skin in the picture but that's just the lightning). She's as good as new, I got her two weeks ago and have only tried her on the body I have once and then she's been put in the box. Her face-up is in excellent condition, still sparkly! I have glued magnets in her head, but since I ran out of super glue I used a waterbased "allround glue" which is not very strong at all and I can remove the magnets if you wish without any residue. If you want I can include her eyes as well as I'm not really a fan of glitter eyes.
- Realfee May sleeping head in natural skin. It doesnt have any face-up since I was planning to paint both her faceplates if I had kept her.
- Realfee Soso head without face-up, in natural skin. This was the gift head I got with my fullset, it's really cute but not my cup of tea ~
- Parts from the May fullset, specifically the shoes and wig. Dont care for them, in fact I dont even think they have been removed once from the packing so they are brand new.
- Other things; I have a littlefee rose sleeping faceplate that I can mod for you(it's natural skin and from 2014). I can also make custom clothing for lati white, pukipuki, pukifee, lati yellow, realfee, littlefee and maybe minifee if that's something you'd rather be interested in ~
So yeah, would really love to trade and get a Mari head and I hope at least something of all things I mentioned tickles your fancy. Let me know! ^w^

I should have taken photos as soon as I got this- by the time I took these photos, I'd applied my own choices of paint on top of the paint the original builder had put on. The results were WAY too much paint, as you can see here.
Black, aluminum and steel colors are as I received it. I applied the gray for the brake discs, yellow-metalic on the exhaust pipes and brake calipers. And the sloppy black on the rear structure and suspension.

And here's a more from-the-side view of the fuselage, a from-the-bottom view of the aft fuselage pieces, and the other side of the ejection seat, wheels, landing gear legs, etc. Note that the bang-seat is a Lockheed C2, correct for most users in early days. All German and the Italian 'S interceptors were built with Martin Baker seats.
My primary reference for this build is the delightful Verlinden Lock-On book about the F-104, primarily in European service. There are color walk-around photos, Belgian, German, Netherlands, Italian and Turkish aircraft captured in clear, color, photos. Everything is well maintained, but not pristine. You can see the yellow Zinc Chromate on the inside of the air-brake bays, aluminum paint in the landing gear bays, white for the insides of moving covers and the stickers and operating and service instructions found on the various pieces of the main landing gear, etc.
Hence the black patches you see above. Look closely at your references and you'll find a lot of moving hydraulic and pneumatic bits have instructions and operating charts attached as stickers. Same with ejection seats and other complicated bits of kit. Not so much for things riveted onto the airframe, but for things which can be removed.

I glue the stones together with waterbased stone glue, its really fun to "build" the fishes. Then i paint them with hobby paint. When you make mistakes you just wipe it off quickly and try again! Let your imagination flow!

Second evening in London, before going to theatre to see Sister Act. Mostly experiental shots. Some came out too dark, some good.
This is the pub sign of the pub John Snow.
No it is not named after the news reader Jon Snow, but the Victorian doctor John Snow who discovered that cholera was a waterbased disease and nothing to do with vapours and miasma.
This is the shot of John Snow that I took again after the last one was at the side.
At 39 Broadwick Street.
These finger puppets are like little sculptures you can play with.
Materials: Creative Paperclay® over a wooden base, painted with
gouache paint and varnished with waterbased acrylic varnish.

The P-39 cockpit is mix of kit seat and radio, and odds and ends I added - control stick, instruments, rudder pedals, throttle, seat belts. Some versions of this kit might have had an instrument panel decal. I got this one from a Microscale P-39 decal sheet, along with the walkways and don't-walk-here markings.
The DH-2 hasn't got that much added, it has no real cockpit, beyond a seated pilot and the machine gun at the very front. Before the DH-2, no Allied fighter had a fixed, forward facing gun close to the centerline of the fuselage, because of the propeller. Most had one or two guns above the propeller, and many kept one up there even later. But the DH-2 was the first plane that the (Allied) pilot could really line-up on the target and fire directly at it. No small matter when you have only an ordinary rifle caliber gun and have to change ammunition drums every 78 rounds or so.
The Fokker Eindecker, monoplane, used interrupter hardware to stop the gun from firing when the bullet would have hit the propeller. So, again, the pilot could point the plane at the target and fire with a reasonable hope of hitting.
Both were vastly better than the French system of armoring the prop so the bullet hits didn't matter so much!

My first attempt at a woodcut, I saw the waterbased method of printing demonstrated last year and thought I'd have a go.

Dry Brushing is a painting technique in where a paint brush that is relatively dry, but is still holding paint as it is used.
On a primed canvas I use soft flowing techniques to mimic Van Gogh's master Impressionist effect resulting in a characteristic scratchy look and then use a wider soft brush for a smooth blending washed-in appearance.
(see picture sequence below)
[The drybrush technique can be achieved with water-based and with oil-based media]
º Water-based media ink, acrylic paint, tempera paints or watercolor paint, the brush should be dry or squeezed dry of all water then sparsely loaded with paint that is high viscosity or thick then squeezed dry again before using light generous strokes.
º With oil-based media a similar technique may be used, although instead of water, the brush should be dry or squeezed dry of oil and solvent.
Note that because oil paint has a longer drying time than water-based media, you can experiment on when to dry brush over with blending strokes and avoid touching once dry to preserve the distinctive look of the drybrush technique.

We're getting close to finishing this, finally. I've manufactured a new stabilizer to replace the one I lost (!), I've filed down the fins on 4 Sidewinders and I'm painting them. I have to identify the mounting points for the "Y" racks and attach them and then install the missiles. Because of the refueling probe fairing, all four of the missiles are rolled to slightly different orientations The seat has been through a lot, and I think it will look reasonably like a 1/72 MB Mk-F7. We'll see.
Not shown here are the canopy and windscreen that need to be finished (yellow decal inside the edges of the windows..., the arresting hook (black and white) and a few other bits and pieces.

Seems all that sanding over the hole I used to add weights had flattened the underside, removing the ogive-like curves that distinguish subsonic aerodynamics. So I made a little thumbnail shaped piece and curved it to fit. A little spooge of Testor's blue-label non-toxic liquid plastic cement fused it solidly in place. After a couple of days to dry all the way through, I filed it to feather edges all around.
