Well i been wanting to build a F-104 . Took a while to find something different to do . Looked through my 40 F-104 books and came a cross a F-104 that used a U-2 Radome for a test. So i used the F-104 nose cone. I guess where to cut it and graphed on the round part from the back end of a Super Hornet fuel tank . Its not dead perfect but I am happy with it :) To use the cutting edge C-2 ejection seat in the kit office you have to cut the square out of the Kit cockpit. I Drilled mine out and added a piece of plastic to the bottom. Then added plastic to the ejection rails so to take up space between the seat and rails.
Cheers Brian

Sorry iforgot to mention its 1/48 Hasegawa :)
Definitely looks like a nicer kit than the 1/48-scale F-104 kit by Testors which was the reissue of the old Hawk kit from eons ago that I'm trying to build. Talk about a kit with issues!

The Hasegawa kit is a really nice kit. I finished one last year.
The only problem with the kit are the decals. They are real thick and the carrier film has a matt finish. Look at the letters "USAF" for an example.
