Hi all, for no particular reason what so ever ,had an urge to add a splash of colour to the cabinet,
this is the REVELL 1\72nd TF-104 [and what a nice little kit it is too!] in the ARDU 'Fanta can' sceme,just a little more to do before she's finished. thanks for looking. comments as usual will be filed for future use once the revolution comes...

Whoa! that looks really sharp!

Is that Revell kit a re-boxed Matchbox TF-104, if so, I'm seriously impressed with the result.

Very nice!!

The Fanta scheme isnt one that really grabs me, but it does look good on the -104. Superb result!

NIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!!!

Damn, that's nice

Seriously, you've got to warn me the next time you put something that hot up on the Forum.

A two-seat Starfighter in Fanta scheme...

you sure did a beautiful job on this.

The sort of model that stands out from all the drab greys, etc. The audience at any model show would be naturally drawn to this one.

Wow, that's a striking scheme, and a superb job of finishing, too. One of the best looking finished models I've seen for a while, without a doubt.

Above comment - comments - seconded! I for one loooove ARDU schemes, and some jets just look better as two seaters *cough Typhoon cough*. This Starfighter combines these two fondnesses perfectly!

Maaaaaaaaaate!!! *raises can of Fosters....and a can of XXXX....and VB....*

Thanks all,
Hi kitnut, no no not the Matchy one ,the Revell of Germany one,great fit ,realy fine recessed panel lines and lots of detail.
Heya 'capn ,once i sanded the runs off and re painted all the bits i sanded through,then polished out the orange peel ,dust and dead insects ...yeah its not too bad..

I should get the rest of the decals on soon...ish..then i'll try for a less crappy photo
