Having been up close and personal
witth Luftwaffe F-104s, I was awed by the beautiful smooth finish. I
bought the Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G. I was supremely disappointed with the
rivets and amount of recessed panel lines that I never saw on the real thing.
I did like the wonderfully detailed parts. I used the Mongram kit and
replaced almost all of the smaller bits with the Hasegawa parts. The
Cutting Edge cockpit literally dropped in and fit almost perfectly in the
Mongram fuselage. The Eduard PE cockpit set provided the finishing
touches.
Cheers,
John
