[F-104 Paul]

Latest F-104 info sent to me by Big Thunder a model shop in Japan. They are advertising a Hobby Master F-104("F-104N high-speed test flight chase machine "NASA" is appearance in the very popular hobby master die-cast finished product series. Item turn: HA1004") ? translated using Babel Fish . They are accepting pre-orders it seems.

I'd love to get one if that is true. I always wanted the FM version, but have never seen it.

I think I can live without it I'm fine with my matchbox release

The last I was told HA1004 was cancelled or delayed indefinitely as the NASA version. I will check with Hong Kong to see if anything has changed. Sometimes these websites don't get updated and there could be inaccurate information on them. I'll let you know.

Wow! That is nuts. But it is pretty rare.

Damn, that's hella nice! Wish I had that FM model.

I have the Matchbox one, but since it's the only F-104 I've ever actually seen, I would love to "upgrade".

So would I. The MB NASA F-104 is the "C" version - look at it's short tail rudder. It should be a "G" version (see pic below).

This is the first scheme NASA F-104 "chase plane" now housed in the NASM


This is the latest (last?) scheme for the F-104
