1/72 Italeri F-104 A Starfighter

These are some photo's of Italeri's starfighter.  Decals are from Leading Edge, turning this into a Canadian version.

Above are two photos of the sprues. The plastic is lightgrey with nicely recessed panellines. The kit came together without any trouble. I didn't completely follow the instructions though - when I finished the paintjob I noticed I'd forgotten to use the small resin pieces that came with the decals. Oh well. There's also some tan-colored spots on the top and bottom of the plane, and I left off the arresterhook.

All in all I'm happy to have this model on my shelf. It brings some nice color to a somewhat grey/green mixture of models.
