Does anyone know where I can get a GOOD 1/33,32 scale downloadable F-104?..........Rich

Our very own Ashrunner designed one, can't recall where it is {pm him} You could up/down scale her - she's a beauty.

well, if you want a real nice one, then you will have to break down and buy the GPM kit.

I could be wrong, but I can't find a 1/33 kit (free/downloadable)
but there is a 1/48 F-104A by Kampffleiger (at ecardmodels).
1/48 Lockheed F-104A Starfighter Paper Model

I just downloaded it and it looks like a reasonably detailed model
that would scale up nicely. Lots of room to add more detail, but it
does have a cockpit and wheelwells.

I think there is a sale coming up at ecm...Monday?

There's an F-104 available free via Paper-Replika, but it's a Japanese print, so I can't read the scale.

The Japanese AF F104 (at paper-replika) is 1/72 or possibly smaller.
A nice looking model, but pixelated quality artwork so not great for upscaling.

I expect to have to pay for a good 104, my trouble with the GPM kit is I would have to scan it and I haven't had much luck with scanning models. I have a good scanner but the print outs never seen to look very good. Maybe I'm just scanning at to low a DPI ?.......Rich
