Here's a nice first effort from the Greek publisher Periscopio
Publications. This monogram covers the F-104 Starfighter as only
a modeler can provide. The title is full of color detail shots
around the F-104G with notable details from other variants as well.
The narrative is written in English and provides a nice developmental
and operational history of the Starfighter. A brief synopsis of
each nation's use of the aircraft is also provided.
Richard Caruana
and Mihalis Solanakis provide 27 color profiles of the aircraft,
including my favorite Starfighter scheme - Mount Olympus.
Coverage of this title includes:
- History
- Forward Fuselage
- Landing Gear
- Rear Fuselage
- Wing
- Armament
- Operators
- Scale Plans
- Seats
- Starfighter Colors
- Profiles
If you've been looking for a good full-color walk around of the
Starfighter, this is one of the best I've seen. You'll have all
the right colors, details and perspectives to tackle the Hasegawa
F-104 in any of the scales.
Definitely recommended!
This title is available from Periscopio
Publications (www.periscopio.gr).
