Cutting Edge Decals F-104 Starfighter Special #1 Stock Number: 48-042 Reviewed By Mike Reeves, #39908 |
MSRP: $10.99 USD at www.meteorprod.com Very few jets have ever worn more special schemes than the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. It has had quite the colorful career. Cutting Edge has captured two of the schemes with its latest release number CED48-042 F-104 Starfighter Special #1. With this sheet you get two VERY colorful special schemes for the Italian F-104S and RF-104G. For the F-104S you will need the Cutting Edge F-104S conversion that is meant for use on the Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G. Here are the options you get on the sheet:
All you need is a Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G or S model kit to make these schemes happen. Cutting Edge has provided all of the markings to build two complete jets. The decals are in perfect register and I am sure there are extra stars for the Strega option. My only wish is that the instructions were a tad more detailed as you only get a starboard profile for the Strega jet. It would be nice to see if the stars are placed the same on the port side. You also only get starboard top wing view for the same jet. My guess is that they are mirrored on the other side but, it would be nice to know for sure. Many thanks to Meteor Productions for the review sample. This sheet is highly recommended. |
