Wow really nice job on one of my favorites. Gary S.
Nice one Chris, did you get any in progress photos? The dusty/faded look is spot on.
I get a bigger kick out of the fact your work space is no bigger than mine and I'm on a 3*5 drafting table so cluttered up I've only got 1 square foot to work in. 
The pigment work on the can, nice!

Some back story on 899. It was the second last CF-104 built. It was assigned to 2 Wing Grostenquin, France in Jul 63. It transferred to 3 Wing Zwiebrucken, Germany in Feb 64, 1 Wing Lahr, Germany in Jul 67 and 1 CAG Baden, Germany in Jun 70. It returned to Canada for a Life Extension overhaul in Dec 78. It returned to Germany until Mar 86 when it was Struck off Strength and transferred to the Turkish Air Force serialed 8-899. It was retired in 1994 and traded to the Bulgarian Museum of Aviation for a Lim-5 in 1998.

Yikes, unfair trade for a supersonic jet to get a Polish made Fagot!
Hey hey...no discrimination here.
Imagine if they did bring back some museum Lim-5 and MiG-15s as 'slow speed' interceptors? Will this generation be able to call them by their NATO reporting names?Hey hey...no discrimination here.
At risk of hijacking Chris' thread but I'm shocked they haven't pulled them out of mothballs yet.
