discussion Italeri 1/12 F104G Cockpit.

[Del640]

I invented new sweary words with this...lots of flash, poor fitting but a challenge for my small detail painting due to my injured hand (shakes due to tendon damage after being stabbed through the hand.)

I liked the challenge though!

Great job! It looks fantastic! And stabbed through the hand? What happened?

Im a retired Traffic Cop and after a pursuit with a stolen car a foot pursuit ensued , I caught the driver who put up a struggle and produced a knife which he lunged at me with, the natural reactive thing to do was to put my hand out...got him though.

First off that is a great build. Is it me or is there also on for an F16?
When did the hand thing happen? Never heard you mention it before.
I hope it is not to bad.

Hi del, another retired traffic man but from a long time ago. Really nice job on the cockpit, I got a pair, that and an F-16 and have only built the latter so far, I really should look at building it.

Great work Del. You’ve done an awesome job with that 105 office, it really does look the biz.
BTW, I hope that knife wielding thug did plenty of time. Enjoy your retirement my friend you earned it. Plenty more cracking builds like this please!

Esci only ever released those two, and Italeri has reissued them both over the years since they acquired the Esci moulds but never seems to have seen a need to expand the series. I always kind of wanted the F-16 cockpit, but when I came across the F-104 one something like 30+ years ago, because I never did see the F-16 anywhere, I bought and built that instead. It’s somewhere deep at the back of a cupboard now …
