Hi guys!

I am currently trying to draw a series of F-104N's, the ones used by NASA. I am running into problems with N826NA, here is what I have so far:



However on this picture I found online I am seeing more markings around the nose cone and a modified pitot tube



Picture from NASA I believe. Does anyone have pictures of the modified pitot tube and the markings on the nose cone?

this has also interesting NASA marking on the intake Risultato della ricerca immagini di Google per http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/NASA.F-104.Starfighter.JPG

It has also a double blue color.
BTW your dark blue seems a little bit too dark....what do you think?

Yeah but I'd like to do both paintschemes, looks like I will have to guesstimate it a bit
