    Here is my Hasegawa 1/48 F-104C Starfighter.  This kit is just awesome, one of easiest builds I've ever had.  It was painted using my Iwata airbrush and Gunze Acrylic paints.
     I primed the model with Tamiya flat white and preshaded it using flat black paint.  Model is painted with standard SEA combination of Camouflage Grey FS 36622,Dark Green FS 34079,Olive Green FS 34102 and Dark Tan FS 30219.I added around 10% of white to each colour with exception of FS 36622 which came straight from the bottle.

    After couple of coats of Pascoe "Long Life" (that is Australian for "Future") I applied decals and weathered model using oil wash and pastel chalks.
      The clear parts were dipped in "Long Life" and polished with Tamiya Polishing Compound. 
       I am pleased with final result and I hope that you like my model.
