There is a Luftwaffe F-104 with all the ZELL bits at the luftwaffe museum in Berlin Gatow :thumbsup:

I found this teeny picture from an EU website about museums.



Plenty of F-104s at Gatow here, including quite a few of the ZELL bird:



Strange feeling you get, walking down a runway with East block fighters parked side by side with their western counterparts. Made it more creepy when the wind made the rudders of the MiG-15 and F-86 creek...

Even more bizarre when you look at the hangars and tower and they are obviously WWII Luftwaffe, and then remember that in 1948 the place was wall-to-all RAF transports! But they are doing a super job on the museum there.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Hehe, and to make it more bizarre than that, there is also a "new" tower, some radar towers, as well as the recently constructed hangar that contains some more modern Luftwaffe types (MiG-29, F-4, etc.)

Spent about 4 hours there, yet didnt see everything. And it was all free! (donated €50 though)

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Uh if you're going to put it that way, B787, shouldn't there be a Hinomaru on the plane?  Sorry, had to.  Already have me coat.

Good idea! Did Japan have F-104s? That would be cool!
