Where would a person hang the extra fuel tanks?
I'd suggest over-the-wing drop tank placement, as on the Lightning. Under-the-wing is going to leave you most vulnerable to hot exhaust "splash", not a good think for flammables.

I like that idea. Would existing F-104 drop tanks be aerodynamically suitable for an over-the-wing installation?
