Picked this up at my local store today.
Be prepared to soak up the releasing oil a la IXO.
Overall a very nice model

Very nice model! I was on vacation last week and in Trenton, Ontario they have a memorial for all the RCAF/CAF pilots that died flying them. Sadly there were over 40 names carved in stone.

Looks great Dave, how did you get yours early? I was in MC on Saturday and they told me it was coming out tomorrow on the 26th. Also did it come with the pilot or is that a HM pilot from the kits.

He got them in today about 4:00pm Rick.
Today I was not far from the store so dropped by on way home.
Pilot comes with a/c and has the promised blue flightsuit.
They also have all the latest HM and the CW Shamrocks.

That's one cool bird smartd. I prefer it over the JASDF one.

JASDF.... better...?

Dont muck about.. get them both.....

[zed550]

this one is very good and personally think is better than the jasdf version could be the best starfighter produced by HM so far.

I'm siding with the JASDF. Like the extra 2 fuel tanks.

I like them both but I might give the nod to the JASDF because of all the delicate stenciling but I don't have my RCAF yet so I don't know if it has similar stenciling.

I've purchases 4-5 of the HM F-104's and they are all winners. Either one you get I think will please you. (Or just go nuts and get both.)
