NASA F-104's in new issue of Wings

I guess it all dependes.... Some kits from Hasegawa are the best available
for that specific plane/car/truck or what ever, but the next plane you would
like to model may be better from Tamyia/Revell/Fujimi. In general the newer
the date of the moulds, the better the kit (Not alvays true - but
generally).
There's a lot of old models around in new boxes, and they are no better than
when they were first made.
Generally I think that the price is also some indication, but the best is to
get the shop to open the box and let you look at what's inside - including
the instructions.

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?
