Anything but a NASA F-104!!!! They are just so blah!! You can't go wrong with any of the Tiger Meet paint schemes. I bet that would go well anywhere, especially in Europe!

The tiger or tiger striped would sure be an eye catcher on the shelf!
I'd definitely buy one!

I kind of like the NASA paint scheme.

Of course, that's what makes this hobby great - the repaint that YOU don't like, I might...

I like the last one, the red Canadian bird.

I'd like to consider the repaints, but I'm still in the hunt for the originals.

I like the ex-Luftwaffe "Olympus" and the "tiger-striped" versions.

I like the NASA version - the blue and white are pretty. Otherwise, it would be a rather boring release with no wing-tanks, missiles, etc.

The German Camo bird is pretty sweet looking, too.

Anything but NASA... it was already done by Matchbox. I like the USAF schemes most of all.

i'm a F-104 Zipper lover and am going to do some repaints for myself and some other Zipper lovers i'll try and post pix later.

I hope this is not a stupid question but what is a zipper?

I think it has something to do with the affliction of Aircraft and the pilots gear. lol

zipper is the slang term for F-104
like Scooter is for A-4

I think the Bavaria scheme, and Vietnam scheme are the next 2.

Roy Sutherland has a whole bunch of F-104 research. Both he and I would like to see a Canadian scheme sometime.

I think the F-104 model is one of 21st's best! I am sure we will see more of these in the future

a guy i know has 3 Zippers
2 in flying cond. 1 being restored to flying cond.
i love to watch them fly & listen to their different sounding afterburners
if anybody gets a chance to watch Tom , JR,and Wolf at an air show
they are the fastest airshow team out there, the "STARFIGHTERS"
it's worth it. they even made a believer out of my wife, who is a F-18 lover
