Stephan RyllAfter a 3 month brake I'm back at my bench and started this nice kit.
A pilot will be added to the cockpit later

Konrad -Nice Stephan!
Frage, die Bomben waren im Bausatz oder hast du diese aus dem Aftermarket Bereich? Schauen echt Klasse aus. Ach ja der Pilot auch 🙂
25 February 2019, 19:02
Stephan RyllThank you Konrad and James 🙂 I'm glad about your comments
There are no pylons or bombs in the Kit
I use the bombs from wingman production and the pylons from eduard
The pilot is from PJ production but needs some adjustments

Nathan DempseyI've been wanting to build this kit so this one is definitely interesting.

Stephan RyllThank you all mates your all welcome 🙂
I hope to geht some things done over the weekend.
At the moment I'm very happy with this kit and the aftermarket stuff 🙂

Erik LeijdensGreat start. Will look closely since I'm planning to do 2 of these soon. In Dutch livery off course.

Holger KranichAmazing Cockpit! The Matra´s look awesome, too! I´ll take a seat here!

Stephan RyllThank you all for your kind comments 🙂
I hope to finish the camouflage of the manned rocket today - I found it very tricky to get those sharp lines done as you need for Norm 72
9 March 2019, 13:27
Stephan RyllColours are done 🙂 slow progress, but better that no progress 🙂- next step will be clear coat and decals
17 March 2019, 15:41
Jos JansenAwesome progress Stephan...what paint and numbers did you use? Personally, I think the green paint is a little too green ... personal taste of course 😉
17 March 2019, 17:57
Stephan RyllThank you Nathan and Jos 🙂
@Jos
Colours are from Vallejo
The green looks to green on the pictures but will be lighter after washing and weathering
Grey will be a littel bit darker- hopefully 😉
17 March 2019, 18:29
Jos JansenAre you going to make a German version? Last year I also made a Dutch 104 and used a RAL 6014 color from Ammo Mig Jimenez, number 087 gelbolive. The green is a little more greenish brown. Good luck mate I look forward to your next photos ... 👍
17 March 2019, 19:21
Stephan RyllThank you Ice 🙂 I also like variations
@Jos - yes a german version from Jabo G31 „Boelke"
I also used gelbolive 71.013 but on a black primer
In the end it will look like a rag rug - hopefully like the real thing - after some time these birds were repainted sometimes by spraycan 🙂 - a nice used look
17 March 2019, 19:45
Stephan RyllDecals are on 🙂 puh - next step clear coat, then filters and weathering
23 March 2019, 12:25
Stephan RyllThank you mates 🙂 I Hope to get the rest finished soon
It's a very nice kit
23 March 2019, 19:21
Konrad -Very impressive build Stephan! Jetzt brauch ich den Kit wohl auch noch. Bin im Moment auf Luftwaffe Flieger (Tornado im Bau/ Mig 29 ist unterwegs Phantom ist im Stash...) A Never ending Story 😉!
Cant wait to see the finished one 👍
23 March 2019, 20:46

Toni is also in my stash but has to wait

Hans-Jürgen HaagDanke Stephan, da sieht man mal wieder es gab nichts was es nicht gab!
25 March 2019, 13:59
Stephan RyllThank you Michael it's never too late to party 😉
Today no progress - my car broke down - so I have to fix this first 😉
@Hans - kein Problem - gerade beim G31 wurde viel probiert - man musste den Herren aus Bonn doch was bieten :] ;]
25 March 2019, 16:15
Thomas TNot ready for 'roll-out' yet, but 'push-out' is possible 😄 Brilliant job done, Stephan
28 March 2019, 22:20
Stephan RyllThank you Clifford and Thomas 🙂 your comments are much appreciated.
I think it would give a screeching noise if I would push her out now - may the same sound as the engine hehe ????
29 March 2019, 06:49
Stephan RyllThank you Holger and Erik 🙂 still a lot of work left - next step are landing gear doors and wheels
But that will happen when I'm back from EME2019 😄

3 April 2019, 07:03
Stephan RyllDanke Holger 🙂 das motiviert - der Pilot musste leider abspecken bevor er in das Cockpit paßte 😉
5 April 2019, 07:33
Erik De SmetVery nice Starfighter , Stephan. I saw on the internet that Freedom Model Kits might bring out the "short" version with German markings too , toypanic.com/toy.aspx?p=37442
5 April 2019, 09:17
Stephan RyllThank you Erik your comment is much appreciated 🙂 ... your hint will end up in my stash I think 😄
5 April 2019, 09:22
Stephan RyllThank you James, Erik and Konrad for your overwhelming comments 🙂
This is a very nice kit and the aftermarket stuff fits very good - I can recommend it 🙂
5 April 2019, 20:05
Stephan RyllThank you Nathan - glad that you like this build 🙂 unfortunately this project is finished 😉 but you're always welcome to any new project 🙂
5 April 2019, 20:34
Jos JansenAmazing job Stephan, man what a great one-o-four...I build also last year a starfighter but it can't compare with yours...look forward to your next project 👍
6 April 2019, 04:54
Stephan RyllThank you very much mates 🙂 for your kind comments- It was a pleasure to build
6 April 2019, 08:17
Slavo HazuchaLooks great, the hi-res close-ups are a joy to review. 90% clean as should be, just a little toning around the engine - well struck, good job 👍
Is the ground crew cheering because he actually made controlled contact with the ground?😉
6 July 2019, 18:31
Stephan RyllThank you Saeed and Slavo for your kind comments 🙂 glad that you like the build
@ Slavo
This is the „last chance" ground crew who just armed the weapons and showing the pilot the safety pins from the bomb racks 🙂
