A collection of F-104 Starfighters.


Recommended Posts

Whats not to like about the F-104. Here are pics of my collection  in 1/72nd All are Hasegawa kits. THe three RCAF ones wearing Leading Edge decals and the Italian '-104S is dressed in decals by Cutting Edge of long ago. I used to have another four but have sold them all and one of these is next for disposal.

I would say you have a slight fondness for F-104's! They are all very nice- that's an outstanding collection! How in the world do you keep your focus doing so many of the same type from  the same kit maker?

Thanks . They got built at different times with other builds in between.   I found that the Hasegawa kits to be the better of kits available  at the time. The ESCI ones a close favourite

Me too, the red bird is a fantastic looker. It reminds me of The Red Baron F-104.

Steve.

As an aside, I was attending Navy Nuclear Power School in Idaho Falls, Idaho when the Red Baron Starfighter was flying (the Red Baron Flying Service was based out of Idaho Falls). Naturally, this is a plane I want to build someday.

Somewhere in  my decal archives I've got the decals and diagrams for the 1/72 Hasegawa kit for the Red Baron 104.
