Kinetic F-104DJ/TF-104G conversion

[longmc]

I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere. 

Can I convert either kinetic 1/48 F-104DJ or the TF-104G into an ANG F-104B? 

 

thanks,

Mike

Do you have a particular jet in mind? Because at some point during their ANG service, F-104B aircraft were retrofitted with the “later style” canopy, like that provided in the Kinetic kit. Hypersonic’s forthcoming conversion will include, among other things, an “early style” canopy.

 

Note the different styles on the SC ANG B models shown below (from Kinzey D&S book):

 

…and the later “D style” enclosure on this ANG F-104B

As a matter of fact I do have one in mind... a Tennessee ANG F-104B just like that one!!
