Beautiful kit, definitely on the drool list :drool: :drool: :drool:

From what I've heard it was a handful to fly and if there were any problems that required ejection that was dicey as well..

Considering nicknames of the F-104 include: lawn dart, widowmaker, and rocket-with-a-man-in-it, yeah I'd say this jet was a handful :lol:

Sweet! Haven't built a star fighter since I was a kid. At 1/32 it'll be a big bugger! Bit too steep for my pockets though. Anyone know of a decent 1/72 or 1/48 f-104?
