Lockheed F-104G Starfighter: Marineflieger

Calvin Gifford
Nice pair of Starfighters! Is that a Jordanian F-104?

Your pictures are a bit dark, but what I see I like, got to love the 104 😉

Thanks Calvin & Jan, Yes, I am a better model builder than photographer. LOL! Academy kit, which is the old Hasegawa mold. First one is CAF all green with white tail using kit decals. Second one is W.Ger. Marineflieger using Microscale decals.
I think that I added the wing pylons and tanks from a Heller F/TF-104 kit, and scratched the pylons with Kormoran missiles from an Airfix Torado kit? Anyway, I built these circa 1986-89 timeframe. 30+ years ago.

Check through all of my completed Starfighter projects. I did build a silver Jordanian F-104A, using the same Academy kit, but trimming the vertical tail from a G to an A. Decals by Microscale again. Lockheed F-104A Starfighter: Jordan | Album by Dutch (1:72)

CAF CF-104 album. Lockheed CF-104G Starfighter: CAF NATO Meet | Album by Dutch (1:72). I think I bought four or five Academy F-104G kits on sale from Squadron Shop monthly sales flyer. Probably around $3 or $4 per kit, back then.

Come to think of it, those are the kit supplied under wing tanks.
