First is a Luftwaffe special, 2036 painted in a special paintscheme for the retirement of the F-104 from JBG-32.

F-104G 683-2043

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!

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”

Canada was on of the liberating powers in world war 2 and as such was given the responsibility for a sector of western Germany after the war. The Canadian Air Group operated from Baden Sollingen in central Germany and flew the CF-104. Later on they would reequip with the CF-18 Hornet. Here some examples of CF-104′s in the overall green colourscheme, I am planning to do the unpainted and the later tri-tone schemes too along with some of the many special colourschemes these machines carried in the future.

I have since changed passwords to be even more secure and I hope this recitifies the situation. I never understand spam and I doubt this even leads to any extra sales, here is hoping that some day we will start shooting spammers at dawn. Though even that seems like to light a punishment.
