Who's Starfighter Will This Be..?

On this RAF Starfighter theme, my first ever Whiff, dated Sept 1972 no less!

Is that additional fuel in the spine Kit? (understand the details might be a bit fuzzy after @50 years)!

As for the F-104, Argentinian or Israeli colors with a yellow triangle were always attractive.

Could be, it's half a Lightning F6 over wing tank, with some greebles added on top. I think the original write-up said it was an avionics pack, like the later A-4s.

I did The F-104 in RAAF Service:

As did I!!

Bright red with Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte markings?

There have been a couple of red Starfighters in real life, but not a Red Baron scheme, I think.

did captain lockheed ever do a visual ?  or am I a step behind  Scooter ?  if so 

The LP cover has three Starfighters mounted over a fireplace like flying ducks.  IIRC they are in std Luftwaffe scheme.  Iv'e always wanted to build a replica using halves of three different scale F104s.


RAAF Mirage came in colours other than grey and green.

Portugal? Some South American operators might add a bit of diversity, Brazil or Venezuela?

Well, there was the Red Baron:

Major painting finished and ready for decal time.  As planned I went with RAAF with a fictional camo scheme for Vietnam deployment.  Not very clear in the pics because of the gloss coat and lighting but I did British Medium Sea Grey on the lower surfaces with NATO Green and US Light Green on top.
