F-104 "Vociferous Viking" Vietnam 1/32

[Mr scale32]

Hi all!! I hope you all are ok.

Im back again to show you my F-104 Starfighter.  It is the F-104 "Vociferous Viking" during the 1958 quemoy crisis. Known as Operation Jonah Able.

All in Natural Metal Finish with white wings and self defences on the wings. Starfighters has always been a favorite airplane to me, I like its profile and design.

My interpretation of "Vociferous Viking" is based on some Pictures from the crisis in 58.
