Italian and German update
I am back from vacation with a new update of the profile section;
First is a Luftwaffe special, 2036 painted in a special paintscheme for the retirement of the F-104 from JBG-32.

If you built scale models in the 90’s you very likely built a Revell 1/32 version of this one! The quite well known cat and mouse paintscheme was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 51st Stormo.

This machine was painted in the Bugatti colours for the occasion of a race against a motorcycle of the firm, the end result was a 1 – 1 draw!
Spillone!

International mixed 104’s
For today we have a international group of F-104’s including two new operators to my collection! The first new operator is the Belgian Airforce with a very colorful Tiger Meet participant.

Next is 4900 from the Norwegian airforce, a Canadair built CF-104. 4900 was the last CF-104 of the line and served with the Canadian Airforce before being sold to the Norwegian Airforce where it served untill it met its fate on the 18th of january 1983 when the pilot lost control at low altitude and was forced to eject. The pilot survived the ejection but 900 impacted the sea and was lost.

And the other new user is the United States Airforce. It took me some time to decide under which operator to put this machine as it was actually owned by the West-German Luftwaffe who used to train their pilots at Luke Airforce base. The aircraft used for this training wore United States Airforce paintscheme’s. The nickname for the unit was the “Cactus Airforce Staffel”
