Low winter light allowed me to utilize the camera's maximum macro capability to reveal some paint over flow on minute details of the Aires cockpit set for the TF-104G. Yet, the purpose of this presentation is to show how a detailing set can significantly boost the authentic look of a well designed model.

The two Starfighters represent aircraft under the service of the Italian and Spanish Air Forces. I consider the models to be amongst Hasegawa's finest as it is not imperative to accentuate the existing rivet lines that are less prominent on the real aircraft.

Enjoy the photos.
