Hello to everyone here on ARC! Here are some pics of my F-104 G recce from Italeri in 1/72 built a few months ago.

Markings are for the Italian Air Force 3rd Wing during operation Desert Storm. A few people know that during the first Gulf war the Italian Air force sent about 6-8 Starfighters in Turkey along the Turkish-Iraq border. The version used was the recce, belonging to 28th Grp/3rd Recce wing in Verona/Villafranca, equipped with Recce Orpheus pod, 2 - 4 fuel tanks and the Vulcan cannon.

Note the flare dispenser mounted close the jet exhaust.
