Natural Metal Finish is the ribbon in question. It does not seem to be on the list stored on this site.

Ok I am all geared up to start by the end of the week. The kit is going into the Soap tonight.

Great that you are with us Terry!

Gentlemen, start your engines... (although that is usually said by a woman, right?)

Cheers

Thats alright we will alow you to wear a dress if you want to :geek

 

[Flyingbabydoc]

Nah... my legs are too hairy, probably not appealing in a dress.

You on the other hand could show us how it's done. Lots of men in dresses in your neck of the woods: kwazulu, Ndebele...

Wowser Rich Pink really suits you

 

[Duke Maddog]

LOL! What an amazing bend this Thread took! I think I'll try to get it back on track by trying to see if I have a Starfighter I can contribute to this. I'll keep you posted.

 

[MrT]

Yep time to pull before we crash....

Indeed. Apparently this thread was hijacked by the Editors of Cosmopolitan, Vogue and Marie Claire!

In any case, back to the original subject. How about internal colours? I have wheels and gear bay in Aluminium, Cockpit in Gray 36321 and all the rest in Zink Chromate (green). Are you in Agreement?

BTW, I just ordered some Eduard PE to make the build a bit more interesting... :drinks


Cheers

Alex

 

[phantom II]

Nope . Same color as the belly . See walk around http://www.sbap.be/aircraft/f104g/f104g.htm

There was an engine bay ( ? ) access panel which was dropped down after each flight but it was more yellowish than what most modelers think off as Zink chromate ( green ).
