This F-104G will be finished in the weathered all-green SM67 danish paint.

Looking forward to this! I really like the look of those highly faded & weathered green aircraft.  :smiley:

Moi aussi! For an all-over olive paint job, it is truly amazing how many different colours come through once faded  :smiley:

Did they repaint the panel lines with spray cans from the hardware store? It looks like it and probably lasted longer!

Same paint but, with the scheme flaking away like it did, corrosion control was a major effort, & all the rivet lines were frequently resprayed to reduce oxidisation of those rather important bits.
