    Your mod looks great, Allan @kalamazoo. The German 104s had some very diverse paint schemes, so I am looking forward to the rest of your build. One of my first assignments in the Air Force was at Luke AFB, where they did the F-104 training for foreign pilots back in the early 1970s. Our squadron building was just off the end of the runway and you could watch the 104s takeoff and land. Very cool.
