the template before I start on the more modern 104's.

Modern? I thought the 104 was just an elongated V-1 with the wings relocated. You're making it prettier than it was and deserves.

Not really, this is just the part I like the most. Doing all the paintschemes and such. I want to do one of each JASDF sqn that flew them. Get the most out of the template before I start on the more modern 104's.

Not surprisingly its the aspect of 'profiling' that interests me least.

Great 104's btw.

It was the pinacle of technology in it's day, nothing in the world came close. Everyone I know who flew it describes their first flight in it as a life changing moment, every single one of them calls it the coolest plane tbey ever flew. After the 104 everything else feels like driving a bus.
