It's a G, so limited to German-owned trainers in US markings. And NASA had some G's; Caracal is doing a sheet of NASA F-104s. Or you could cut the rudder down, and mod a bunch of other things to get to a C. Edited September 20, 2019 by sierrascale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you plan on building a USAF F-104G (Luftwaffe) based out of Luke AFB then yes this kit will work. It will also work for some NASA schemes as well.

Space Tiger Hobbes Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks. I see images for a USAF 104 with the big "69" on the tail. So that was a trainer? Training for what if there were no 104 units? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Training for what if there were no 104 units? That's an F-104G from the 69th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron. It was based at Luke AFB in USAF markings but was owned by West Germany. West Germany trained their F-104 pilots out of Luke AFB from 1969 to 1982. The 418th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron was also based out of Luke and was also a West German training squadron.
