1/48 Hasegawa RF-104G

This is my 1/48th scale Hasegawa F-104G converted to a German Navy RF-104G using the Aires F-104 cockpit, Cutting Edge underwing tanks Eduard F-104C FOD covers, Aires wheel well set and Eduard 1/72nd scale RBF streamers. I found out that the 1/72nd scale streamers actually are a LOT closer to 1/48th scale, the 1/48th scale RBF streamers are real close to 1/32nd scale when comparing them to a real streamer ! So, BEWARE !!!

Just a little something different for all you " Zipper " phreaks out there ! Thanks to Dan Winfield for letting me have a few moments off from the hobby shop  and keeping his Mon-key distracted long enough to take a few pics...............Thanks Dan !!!

Mike is a member of the Military Modelers Club of Louisville  WWW.MMCL.ORG and he won First Place in Jet Aircraft Division at the Cincinnati IPMS show with this RF-104G model.  But he's too modest to mention that in his article. Steve Bamford
