Not a F-104 expert, but the S version was built in two subvariants, the S/CI ( Caccia Intercettore-fighter interceptor) and S/CB ( Caccia Bombardiere-Fighter Bomber) The CI has the cannon replaced by the Sparrow's CW illumination black boxes; the gun was mainteined on the CB that,IIRC, equipped two Squadrons in the AMI ( Italian Air Force), of which one was the 37° Stormo, don't remember the second,sorry

Look pretty coo,you nailed it! b But why not added gun barrells, they're pretty visible in all Mirages and derivative? Ask just because in the Critique Corner Cheers Gianni

@Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy checked my two Israbook and other ref I've and the gear legs were always white in all version with the internal surfaces of the doors in the same grey of the belly.

Will chwck my refs mate, a bit of patience...

They are captive Aim-9D/G painted as live missiles for the film needs ( look like Iron Eagle screenshoots), the IAF Kfir operated these variant well into thr mid '80s before start operating them alongside the 9L and the switching to the Pytho III ( the latter were used principally for CAP duties or by better A/A platform like the Baz and Netz/Barak)

Look really nice! Gianni
