E.E. Lightning and the Deal of the Century

[PR19_Kit]

LOVE that! 

Did the tiger decals come from an Italian Starfighter or Tornado scheme?

[Howard of Effingham]

absolutely brilliant! 

in fact i must consider doing a lightning trainer in um.... well the choice of NATO airforces is wide. maybe belgian
or dutch?

[Weaver]

Yeah, that looks good - nice one! 

[NARSES2]

[Captain Canada]

Thanks everybody
For those that need to know...
The Decals/Transfers are from Cutting Edge 72-042 For the F-104 Starfighter

I think they're out of production now.
However there are more than enough special schemes that a StarFighter Lightning
Could appear in
The Canadian Red Indian Scheme for example.... Or an overall Green RCAF machine,
Belgian USAF style..... Or what about Japanese?

I have one started somewhere that is to end up as Japanese, using the Hasegawa F6 for the build though. Must dig it out..... would not take more than a month or two at my build rate

That I like. Love what you've done to the belly tank and the Sparrows make for a nice change.

The Italians specialised in 'Run Out' schemes for their F-104Ss, almost every aircraft had its own scheme so there's bags of choice there.

[NARSES2]

Not sure if it was the Italian's, Dutch or Belgians but someone painted one side of an F.104 in a special scheme whilst leaving the other side in the standard finish to get around a ban on "special finishes". Whenever a senior officer visited it was parked against a wall with the standard side visable. They got caught out eventually I think

[PR19_Kit]

I think that was the Italians, yes.

The Hon Sec of my club, Hilton Jones, built every one of those special Italian F-104 schemes and I can recall that one.

That's a lot of Starfighters 

[Torchwood]

Wow. Amazing! Takes me back, the first ever model i built was a Lightning, with my dad in a shed

This is stunning, love the scheme! Keep it up

You're not kidding! He put on a one man display at Boscombe Down once with 104 x F-104s! The guy's Starfighter mad.
