I decided to finish up a F-104J that has been sitting around. I will be using the platz decals. Just need to come up with the blues in the tamiya paint.

Enjoy

I used the Tamiya Dark Blue. I lightend bottle with white. Then for the top blue i added black. I am really happy with the results. Just a few things to paint and she willo be ready for gloss coat.







Enjoy

Cheers Brian

Hi Brian

Looking very good! ... for my taste a bit too bright/light and the darker blue is too much towards violett (but that might be a trick of my eye or photography)

cheers

Hi Brian.
It's going to look pretty spectacular when it's finished, particularly when you apply the decals. Excellent work so far.
