originally they said it would come with a pilot but hes not here :?

just got off the phone with the U.S. distributor and they have the paperwork from Lockheed that verifies that this German maker has the license agreement from them. i might take on a couple if anyone is interested

So they do have a license agreement. That is good to hear. It does look pretty good, too. Perhaps I might be interested after all...

It seems AllGo is saying the German 104 is also a knockoff. http://www.allgotoys.com/ Scroll down to attention collectors......
Wish they could all work this out.

That's a nice looking plane, it's a shame there is no pilot.

Missing pilot? Just remeber that the 104-G has been called "widow-maker". So keep the plane on ground and the alive pilot with his wife.

The 21c Marine Fl. came with a pilot.

Mine is in the cockpit, and most of the time he is grounded. ;)

That looks awesome, I'm really interested in buying one of those.

Are you able to get them or know where to get them?

Really a fantastic looking plane and I love the new detailing they did in the cockpit :D It is, however, a bit too similar to my original 21c Marineflieger F-104G and since I've got 3 F-104s already and no space to display them, this is one I'll have to pass on...

* * *

On a somewhat related note to the conversations above, I do love the 21c F-104 pilot figure. Certainly one of their best pilot figues in terms of articulation, detail, and accessories. The fact that each had a unique helmet that went with their respective aircraft was cool and the S1 USAF pilot figure even had the correct 479th TFW squadron patches detailed on his flightsuit. Too bad this plane doesn't come with one...
