Dave I am beginning to get worried with your fixation on dresses...
Is it because of this?

I believe that's what it was but probably not important since I did not see a picture of one.

This has peaked my interest (no not the dress business) I'm sorry to admit that not being a big fan of flying blow torches it was only recently that I found out that 104's were used in Vietnam. Seemed like a most unlikely choice. That said I think I can pull a 104 out of a hat so I could play along but not likely I could start it till late in the year and by then most of you will be done. If you all are finished by then I'll just start a separate thread. I'm hoping I can pick up some valuable intel from your builds along the way as I currently have no 104 reference material.

Well gents,
Now that we have solved Dave's dress dilema (he is in it just for fun) and discovered that Gary has no interest in Dresses, let's get down to Business shall we?
Got some work done, as usual some PE from Eduard. This is for the Hasegawa kit (I am doing an Italeri) so I had to do some Fitting and adapting.
I like it so far. This is such a simple kit, a few Details will do it good.
Unfortunately the canopy is a one-piece, so most would not be seen, but I will try and saw it open.
Cheers
Alex

Thanks Gary
Gee Dave, that is indeed vintage! Is your kit this one here?
A bit of Progress, the kit does assemble ok but even without the PE there are a lot of adjustments, sanding and trimming required.

Hey Dave
No, I just found that box on the Internet. I only had this Starfighter from Italeri I guess late 90's.
In any case, I am soldiering along since I have way too many Projects that Need finishing this year. Here is the bird all assembled and ready to be painted.
I am thinking I should put it together with an F-105G Wild Weasel which has just been sitting in my stash waiting to be assembled. Why not?
Cheers

Alex, I know you can spray paint, ever thought about trying your hand at BMF?

Thanks Bob
I had to give up all sorts of spraying lately. I have been in sort of a "flared up modus" of my asthma this summer.
Answering your question, I have never tried BMF because I haven't the foggiest about what it is. I will look into the website you sent me, many thanks.
