flybywire Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hi! Does anybody have any idea if the CF-104D's skin is painted in silver or just bare aluminum? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not painted in gray, it was a water color wash that was applied by mop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 CF-104s started out bare metal, with white upper wings and tail horizontal surfaces. They were camouflaged in a couple different schemes, later on in Europe. The ones you see that are silver are all natural metal. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
