TELFORD IPMS F-104 Comp

ZELL-launched Starfighter as a modern-day (well, somewhat modern-day) CAM Hurricat! 

[Mr.Creak]

A WHIFfed Starfighter?
Easy: just do an F-104G with an old pilot. Think about it....

Meanwhile, went to Stratford-Upon-Avon today where 3 things of note occured:

We saw "Dunsinane" with Sioborn Redmond at The Swan....it's a very enjoyable modern play, a "sequel to Macbeth".
My underpants fell down (still wearing my jeans at the time!)
I bought 2 x 1/48th Revell/Monogram F-104Gs....it's the prescribed kit.

I've been checking out the various Richard "Gekko" Chafer profiles too.
RAF SEAC looks great, the SA camo scheme looks brilliant and then there's Desert Storm!!

TMI!

I'm not even going to ask

So then......

thinking of an RAF Desert one, dirty and weathered, nose art, etc....Sand/Dark Earth/Azure Blue.

And ......another.

I like the South American idea - maybe as an alternate for some of the F-5 or Mirage III users in these schemes:

Venezuela:



Chile:



Brazil:




Argentina:

Naah, Guatemala. Just think of the fun one could have with an F-104G marked FAG. 

[TsrJoe]

Switzerland looked at the F.104G in the early 70's as a possible type but went with the Mirage, something different with a 'real' background, hmm, schemes similar to Norway perhaps or ??

Australia looked at the type in the late 60's as a possible (centreline mk.28?) nuke delivery aircraft as well as for its interceptor role, would look neat in standard silver/white with roo roundels and wingtip 'winders

[GTX]

I like the Swiss idea too - maybe in the same scheme as their Mirages or F-5s?




or even better, a Patrouille de Suisse one:



Of course, all these ideas are being added to my list too .

Another idea might be to go with the Starfighter name and do a Viper type F-104 with 3 engines:
