Fine video review. One of my big hobby regrets is that I sold my Hasegawa 1/32 F-104S (for pennies) at a show in 2007. That kit was impressive then and this model is even more so now. Perhaps one day...

I nearly started looking on Evilbay for an old Hasegawa kit! Glad I waited!!

The 1/3 pied red, white & blue roundel is the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

Wow, looks like a great kit, thanks for the look inside the box Jim Some nice potential for paint masks; I'm surprised that there are no USAF markings? I'm glad that I moved up to 1/32 scale

Mal, Actually, the USAF didn't use the F-104G/S, it was an export or license build version. Though NASA used some and a few were painted in US markings during Luftwaffe training. The standard USAF versions were the F-104A and C.

Well you live and learn, thanks Michael I do think that I should have known that though If I am going to build a one off I just like to build models in the insignia of the country that produced them; I have no idea why? That begs the question; are they going to release the A/C versions?
Well masks are a possible for all the insignia included
