I just received from Italy an conversion set for the 1/32 F-104G that I thought would be of interest to the viewers on ARC.  It's from an Italian firm called NEW MODELSYSTEM .
Ok , the Blacl Box cockpit set for the 104G looks good with the only down side being the seat which is not suitable for Italian versions of the F-104G.  We all know the mastercraft of BB the price in England its a bit high.  Black box should give a option 2 seats. 

The new model system conversion is a real gem.  

You get: 

• the seat, 
• pylon wingtanks
• electronic bay with good detail 
• chute vane 

I bought this conversion plus the Tauro decal 1/32 sheet to make an early jet in service with the Italian air force in 1970.  I bought all this from an Italian kits mail order the resin set price is 45,00 Euro, the decal 6,50 euro at www.italiankits.it fax ++39 02 61290775. Well what else to say except I've got another brick to add to my wall....meanwhile beetween a glass of chianti and penne all'arrabbiata I will finally get the Italian 104 of my dreams. 

Ciao
Cesare
