Done 5 to date, 2 pair of 100's and 104's and a rf101. Only 3 still exist thanks to an accident which wrecked the silver f100 and took a chunk of the rf101's tail that was claimed by the hoover before I noticed so had to reluctantly cull it. 

 

Italeri F-104C built for the 2015 Vietnam GB, one of the oldest if not the oldest in my collection 

 

Italeri F-104G built for the 2018 F-104 STGB

 

Italeri F100 built for the 2018 NATO GB

 

Hasegawa F100 built for the 2019 Sharkmouth GB

 

Frogagawa RF101 built for the 2019 Frog GB

To begin, I take great umbrage that the OTHER century series fighter was not included!

 

 

But, I'll try to get over it!😉

Okay, I'm over it.

You asked for old century models and this was the only one I had handy.

 

 

This was a 'why not?' rather than a 'what if' inspired by the BoB Hawk scheme of years ago. I was asking the rhetorical question, why doesn't the Luftwaffe have a Defense of the Realm memorial paint job from time to time? Rhetorical question, as the answer is very obvious. Of course there is another question underneath that one...

Monogram F-105G in 1/72 built OOB in 2018 and brush-painted - loved this old classic!

[RidgeRunner]

I thought I’d re-show a few of my Centuries

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope they inspire some to try something different

Edit: for those who are reaching for their Aviators, the dayglo is less bright in real life, thankfully. It just seems to blow the mind of the camera sensor

[Lightningboy2000]

Some of my past glories...

[Winenut]

Hi all

 

I'm not in the Group Build so I hope it's still okay for me to post my 1/72 Academy F-104G Starfighter just for inspiration

 

I actually just completed it a few days ago and it's now made it's way into the cabinet of glory! 🤣

 

Cheers

Setting a very low (and dusty) bar.

Built in the days when I didn't varnish models - tried to blow the dust off and a good portion of decal on the wing disintegrated !

 

 

[arfa1983]

Trumpeter kit. An extremely good kit that I highly recommend.
