Yeah she's not too bad hey!! They say experience is key and I've done a few HM 104's now,haha....and also sometimes luck has a big role to play when assembling your models!!!
That looks mighty fine. To avoid injury to the ground crew etc, they had to cover the leading edges of the wings because they were so sharp. Beautiful model, thanks for sharing
Oh really wow I did not know that!! Thanks for letting me know!! This aircraft had enough ways of hurting you when it was flying,haha now its deadly sitting still!! Thanks for watching!!
Yeah this is another sweet 104. To be honest once you have done it gear down once and have a routine it's pretty easy to set up even with all those pieces!! You get so used to HM having drop in modules,haha But I mean if my fingers can do it, anyone can!! Thanks as always for watching!!
HeavyMetal it is hard to be sure in the video: are the tops of the main wing painted off white and the bottoms light grey? Nice bare-metal finish elsewhere. Have you featured any F-104s with a Chrome finished fuselage?
Yes its white on the wing upper surfaces and a light blue/grey underneath. I don't have any Chrome/polished finished ones as yet. But I have done 2 previously in a similar style as this one
@heavymetaldiecast Hobby Master has only done 2 models with chrome finish the, both Limited Edition: 1) HA1011 (booklet/leaflet June2008) CF-104 Starfighter RCAF "701" \ Limited Edition 1000 Worldwide - Special chrome finish (however it models a test aircraft with lots of high-vis orange paint) 2) HA1029 (booklet/leaflet Nov2007) Japanese F-104J 206 Sqn., Air Self Defense Force "863" \ Limited Edition 600-Worldwide, special chrome finish These also have painted main wings: whitish top & greyish bellow. And you have done a video on the only other similar finish model by Hobby Master - HA2823 F-22 "Mirror Coating".
@@weldonyoung1013 Oh they are some early birds from Hobby master indeed!!! Probably worth a mint now days!! I did just manage to pick up HA1016 CF-104 which is a camo version this week, so waiting on that one to arrive!! Yeah that mirror coating on the F-22 is fantastic!!! Thanks for the extra info regarding those earlier 104's!!!
Starfighters are such amazing aircraft!
They certainly were a pretty slick looking bird!! Thanks for checking out the video!!
@@heavymetaldiecast yes! I love these hobby master videos, keep up the great work man!
@@Rusich20 Thanks mate, really appreciate the feedback!! Hope they help in some way. Thanks again for being a part of the channel!!
Beautiful. I especially like that the silver color also has a darker shade.
Yeah this is another great looking HM Starfighter!!! I really do like these models now I have the hang of assembling that landing gear,haha
One of my favorite planes.
Thanks for watching!!! 😁
Now that is a stunner! That superb metallic finish! Great scheme and livery. You are daring diecaster - handling all those small parts like a maestro!

Beauty! I thought the 104 always did look really good with it's gear down too 👌

Really is a beautiful airplane
Yeah its a sleek one for sure!!!
Lindo modelo.
It certainly is!!! 😁
You really need a B-58 Hustler to go with this(if you don’t already have one)
Waiting for Calibre Wings to finish theirs 😁 hopefully it will be ready for sale this year!!!

A fancy pencil 😅
Its certainly sharp looking,haha Thanks for watching!!!
I think it was also called a "missile" for its interceptor role.
@@weldonyoung1013 and widow maker for a different kind of role,haha
@@heavymetaldiecast you must be referring to its "Lawn Dart" and similar nicknames.
@@weldonyoung1013 haha yeah this aircraft had a lot of nicknames, some not so good,haha
I think I have a Taiwanese HM starfighter...
Nice, that one is a great looking model too!!!
