I picked up the dual NATO/Bundesfighter F-104G boxing at Telford as a bit of a bargain. Inspired by a Vikings video I saw on Youtube, I decided to finish it as a West German Navy example from MFG1.
Finished as usual with a brush and Xtracrylix, an enjoyable kit to build. A bit fiddly in places and the instrument panel doesn't fit if you follow the instructions but nice nonetheless.

That is a cracking model, I love it!
I was just thinking as I scrolled down, "Lovely, but it's not the Vikings look with the tip tanks on", then as if by magic...

And the Vikings were MFG2
That looks great Derek, quite a machine. I don't know about the Eduard kit but I feel you'd be hard pressed to better the old ESCI 1/48 for shape and "feel".
You caaan't trust the system... Maaan!

I built the Esci one a long time ago - late 1970s probably. In Canadian colours - I think it still be in a box in the loft.
The Hasegawa kit is a decent one though.
