Convert Academy F-104J/G to F-104A/C Starfighter

Scale:
1:72
Status:
On hold

June 7, 2022

Since the doors are NOT bulged anyway, and I can't seem to find a Monogram or RoG F-104A/C at a REASONABLE price I will see what I can do with this. I figured I try the first couple in flight with the cockpit (or lack thereof!) painted over in silver/blue desktop style. Going to try to use the Italeri kit's yellow 'Starfighter' motiff as a stencil with some decal strips to try to replicate that design seen on the Tennessee Air National Guard jets.
