I had a shelf for this, but it was not large enough, so I added another, and another. Over half of the closet is now dedicated to my ~10 works-in-progress, the ~5 that are truly shelved and might not be dealt with, and the entire stash.
Honestly this one was never given up on, I just lost one of the wings.
Yeah.
More on that at a later date, but suffice to say this kit is 100% Kinetic except for the wings which are Hasegawa ;-)
Definitely a long story and it moves into what Littlemarten was asking.
However, I cannot answer which kit is better. This is my 1st and only experience with Kinetic, overall very positive, but is that because it is a "gold" edition, is it a newer one and older kits from Kinetic are shoddy? I cannot say. The Hasegawa wings are very nice, 4 parts each, which is amazing since these are more like fins than wings (if you ever get to touch an F-104, the wings are super-thin and sharp-edged), but they also show rivets which the Kinetic kit sorta declined to bother with.
To solve my missing wing situation I bought two partial kits off egay for ~$30, interestingly one of the two was also missing a wing, the same one in fact.
