modellers, Don Barclay has a 4 page article with 9

exterior of his model and he describes this in his informative article,
which include interior photos. |

6 page article with 12 photos (colour and B&W) covering the building
and modifying of his 1/48 Hasegawa F-104J kit into a CF-104. Wayne
used an Aries cockpit set and decals from Leading Edge Models. He did

produce a stunning model. His article explains all this in depth. |
