These are all 1/48 scale Hasegawa CF-104 Starfighters. All using Leading Edge decals. All of these are specials that I built for the century series group build on the ARC discussion page.

The red one represents 104805 from 421 squadron, it was painted up this way during the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Forces base in Germany. Also for the squadrons soon transition to the CF-18.

The black one represents 104880 from 441 squadron, same deal regarding the paint scheme as 805. Both of these planes ended their days as Battle damage repair training airframes in Baden.

 

The white red and blue represents the squadron special for 417 squadron. This was the Cold Lake Alberta based training squadron for the Starfighter. Also the only CF-104 squadron not to be based in Europe. From what my old books tell, this plane was in long term storage in these colours but I believe it has moved on to a museum since then.
