F-104 Starfighter

[Ugo Crisponi]

- A few details on the tail area: the small bulblous receiver in the bottom (sorry no other pictures around) and that name written in silver

- The white strips in the wing

- Check the antennas

- Last version had the white strip on the wingtank and the pitot blue painted

I like the satined effect, as this one was not glossy

It's not final yet Ugo but good points none the less, I noticed the small logo on the rear fuselage too but am trying to work out what i says exactly. BTW the various ECM antennea looks exactly like those of a late service german system called EL70/73 System. Is it the same because if that is the case I have reasonable pictures of that system.

I imagine it was not finished. BYW one who may know the name written there, possibly the guy who painted, is Pierpaolo Maglio who has a deep knowledge of the 5th WING.

Ok, I will send him a e-mail. We talked a couple of times before and he is always very friendly and helpfull.

I've given up counting Doing the maintenance markings for german camouflaged machines at the moment, it is asking a lot of my patience

[Supah]

Needed a break from the tiiiiiiny letters so I did this one;



A early example from the Luftwaffe's test unit WTD-61

[inkworm]

And how many more left to do?

[Supah]

Around 1507, might be a bit more

Are the pictures I sent useful?
