I truly wonder what would possess Revell to put EIGHT (8) sprue attachment points INSIDE their F-104 Starfighter's engine exhaust nozzle. I mean, it looks more like a Rolls Royce Spey nozzle than a General Electric J-79 one anyway but still...WTF!!
Had to cut the Nose Landing Gear bay away from the cockpit for it to fit correctly. Cockpit coming together, still have to paint it up & paint up the 'stick actuator' ;-D
Making a model from your childhood - one of your first. No stress about getting it contest or museum perfect. I building this as a RNeAF F-104G because I got it cheap off Evilbay sans the 'C' tail, decals & instructions (and I latter learned - sans wings!) Using some old Monogram Dutch markings & ESCI stencils.
