Can't wait for that story!

You also HAVE to post your African lightnings story in the story section.

Thanks, but yeah I have worked on the F-104 profile to improve it, so when I put the story up I'll update all of these RAF ones to go with it. Some of them have interesting and relevant nose art/mission markings that you can't quite make out on these profiles.

Cheers

Yes, I must get that story finished. I am actually contemplating creating an illustrated book for that African Story, but time to actually sit down and get to it is not on my side at the moment. I start University this year full time so I'm pretty sure that will push everything else aside for three or four years.

Wow ... keep going!  There must be a camouflage scheme that doesn't make the Starfighter look great but all that you've done so far are fabulous  :)

;D

2006 seems to have been a very productive year for me I noticed going through these profiles again. I wondered why, so I asked my wife. She reminded me that our youngest son is 6 years old now, so this period of creativity was just before he was born. Noah is an amazing little boy, very much a "mini me". He is like 10 kids in one though, but very funny. And just like me he is aquiring an eye for detail and colours. He loves science fiction, tanks and jets. So maybe one day we'll see his profiles on here too!

Yep, soon! ;)









I really, really, really hope that Italeri 32nd scale F-104 that is coming out this year is an all new tool kit and not the Hasegawa kit re-pop. If it IS an all new tool kit then I will most certainly bring out a dedicated 'What if' decal sheet for it!

That RAF SEAC scheme with the large 111Sqn badge on the fin is one I've been wanting to build since I created the profile and in 32nd scale it would be quite long, but  not so wide so it would be easy to display. Lets wait and see! :-*
