Also found a trouble spot, the speed brakes on both sides have some serious sink-holes to deal with
Sorry for the crappy pic, but you can make out 2 rows of sink marks, and the other side is pretty much the same. Mr Surfacer, come on down !

Very nice looking Damian. I hate dealing with sink marks myself. Mr. Surfacer and Tamiya Basic Putty have been life savers on numerous occasions. Looking forwards to seeing more.

Thanks guys. You're spot on Andy, the red livens it right up. I was wondering why there would be a combination of red and olive on the innards of this, but no matter, it's on there now !!
Basic assembly completed, time to mask and paint !
Cheers, D

Just a quick question here, how do you effectively mask off the painted areas under the wings and fuselage before painting the bird?

layers of future and a few days dry time for me.then i mask with no problems .this goes on the assumption that the bird is properly cleaned before the painting begins

I'd like to count myself in with this one. I've probably got a few in the stash that fit the bill, but at the moment I might be going with my ye olde matchbox F-101. I've been looking for an excuse to do it anyway. I'll also be adding some aeroclub metal seats, improving the cockpit and might go for a late CAF scheme. I'll get some pics up tomorow.

Cheers mate.
A Voodoo it is then. The cool thing I always like about this kit is the optional recce nose. I might have to look about for another or 2. The F-101 had a lot great colour schemes and I do like the Texas ANG markings.
I have the decal sheet for the Revell F-101 which comes with CAF markings which I'll be using. I was given this sheet by a mate a few months ago. He was moving and had to get rid of a few things and I ended up with a load of unused decals and a few kits. They all went to a good home.

Hi all.
You guys hit it off! The campaign's only a mere two months old and you' blasting away!
Damain, you get high respect marks on my list for takling THAT kit btw. I'm just a kit sticker I'm afraid and very much addicted to prime material.
Will be joining in with a Trumpy F-100c. Will not be using the decals much as they are to watery a yellow for my tastes.
As usual for me it'll be next to no special attention to pit and wells (sorry, I just don't look at them aferwards that much) just fun glueing and spraying.
The masking will not be fun though.
But we'll see.
Have fun all!!

Nice build, Brandon How is this kit? I have seen it in the Monogram boxing, but the details looked a little on the heavy side judging from the pictures on the box. However, I did not have a chance to see the kit "in the flesh".
I am going to start my entry for this campaign. The F-104 Starfighter. I will probably go for the markings on the box art, but have not decided yet.
More to follow.

Nice. I've been on the look out for a decent F-104 so I'll be interested to see how it turns out. Good selection of markings too, Italeri can be very generous with decals! Shame they couldn't do the Ferrari scheme.

Jesper its not a bad kit some of the gaps are annoying they could have saved a lot of time by just making the rudder a separate peace but it isnt a bad kit. very little flash. quite i nice kit if in the right hands

BUMMOX 
I give the 102 a light coat from a Tammy rattle can ,and this sh*t happened
I don't know what to do.....
1 ,leave it for a few days to let the paint cure ,then rub down and respray.
2,take it into the garden and use it as a sighting drone for my air rifle.
3. build somthing else!
BUGGER,BUM PANTS

I had the same thing happen on a 1:48 meteor. The first (and last) time I used tamiya sprays. And that was after washing and priming. Difficult to say what caused. Never had it happen with other sprays I've used.
The usually faithful Mr muscle oven cleaner spray just wouldn't shift it and that stuff usually takes off any paint. Only way I could get rid of it was sanding it off and respraying. Ended up losing a lot of the fine detail. Given your 102 has a lot of raised panel lines I can see sanding being very risky!
How about a rub with a meths soaked rag? Sometimes gets off paint if it hasnt been on too long.
Its not good when something goes wrong so close to the end of a build.

Hi Steve,
I feel your pain mate,I wont be using tammy rattle cans again either
Tried all of the above plus model strip,NFG I'm affraid
,I'm going to bite the bullet and bin it.Ordered a replacment build (not a 102) but it may take a week or so to get here,plus my big Airfix mossie has a whole sprue missing,so its not been a great weekend
,but Spurs won and I had great curry and beer on saturday night

Thanks for the comments on the F-104G kit. Progress is slow, but it looks good so far. More to follow
Stephen, I agree with you Italeri really supplies the modeller with great choices. The combination of camouflage and colourfull markings always looks attractive to me.
Sorry to hear your problems over the weekend, Andy. Luckily Curry and beer can cure a bad mood easily
