I accidentally posted this on the Mirage thread last night, it was late, and I was tired. These four packages are at AVSIM this morning. This leaves Canada, Italy, and Turkey left to do.

Hi Mike, thanks for carrying on with these models. I've had to tune out for a while but it's great to see you are carrying on. Can't wait to see what you do with the Hun and the Thud. :D

Thanks again ol' buddy,

This is the F-104S, with both distinctive fighter-bomber and air-superiority (no cannon) variants....

Just to let everybody know, I am on the verge of posting some new pix here of the next Starfighter chapter (Canada), but will be taking a short halt due to terrible events yesterday in my home state, affecting a fire department literally right next door to mine. I personally knew some of those kids, and my stake in the loss is pretty significant; and I can only imagine the depth of loss for their families, loved ones, and immediate co-workers. So, if you grant me this moment of pause, I will certainly make it worth your while on the back side. I have already received some touching messages from some friends in the hobby, and I thanked them from the bottom of my heart.

This was devastating news, both the loss of 19 heroic firefighters, in the most dangerous of firefighting jobs, but also that the fire has so far consumed most of the homes in a community of only 700 families (effectively wiping out the whole community). My condolences and prayers to all, and to you please be careful, as this fire is a long way from being over! Ron

The Canadian package is 22 models, 48 repaints; and the Turkish package is 25 models, 70 repaints. The Turks had to be last, since they ultimately collected everybody else's aircraft, lol...... and I didn't forget the Vicon camera pod...... :smt004
