For those of us who love those NASA F-104's, the current issue
of Wings (Feb.2004) has a great spread on them. Lots of color
shots of the JF-104A as well as the F-104N's. I recommend
picking up a copy, you won't be disappointed. Now, where did I
put that Hasegawa kit....


1/72 Hasegawas were always my favorite models, more accurate
and prettier box-motives than anything I could get my hands on
in my small west-coast Norwegian city.

Is it the best brand, or was I illusioned?

Yes here in Oz I've found Hasegawa models to be superior with regard to
mould quality (fine details and absence of flash), and instructions. They
also do have excellent artwork on the boxes.

Have you seen some of the Chinese and Russian brands out now? Seriously, the
cover art looks something like a non - artist like me would do! Hare to
think what the model quality is like. I did get to open the box of a Czech
brand in my local store, and there seemed to be more flsah than useful
plastic!
