Looks like it could be a nice kit. Italeri is a little hit & miss though eh....

With Hasegawa's kit starting to get long in the tooth if the fit is half way decent it should be a hit.

Its a new tool kit, so fit shouldn't be an issue. Models are all CAD designed now, with the moulds CNC machined right from the CAD drawings, so really there should be no "Bad fitting" kits around in the modern kits. Not a fan of the F104 personally, but it looks like a nice kit. I like the small touches like the boarding ladder and the trolley for the removable tail section.

As a 1/32 aircraft fan I've been keeping tabs on this one and would like to buy if the price is right, heard it might be a bit more than I'm prepared to pay though? if they could follow Revells formula for quality not too expensive 1/32 kits I'd buy it in a heartbeat, sure I'll pay a premium for Tamiya 1/32 aircraft kits but they really are worth the premium IMHO.
I need to watch as my 1/32 stash is growing again, have already had a 1/32 cull and dont want to do that again, but one thing in the F-104's favour for storage when finished purposes is its small wingspan (what wingspan I hear you all ask

) so we'll see.

I wonder if Lee would agree with that? Lol!
