F-104 Beta Builders needed

[Paragon]

I'm wrapping up the design of my newest model, the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. I've already built one of the versions of the model, the Greek Mount Olympus version, but I need images of a few of the other versions.

The different versions to choose from include:
-USAF livery
-Luftwaffe livery
-German Navy livery
-Red Baron (civillian)
-Starfighters Demo team
-NASA
-NF-104
-Orange drone test colors.

I'm also working on some variants of the aircraft, like the CL-1200 and X-27, but those aren't going to be ready for awhile.

I'd like someone to do the USAF livery, but I need at least that one, or one of the German versions done. Any of the others are viable too, but I only need one builder for each version.

Main issues to look for are matches between parts, make sure the colors aren't misaligned, and make sure the pieces all fit too. Any accuracy issues you find in the texture are also important; if the markings are misplaced or wrong, let me know.

Just reply here which version you'd like to build, PM me your e-mail, and I'll send you the model.

I'll take a shot at the USAF version!

Ok, I've already had two other offers to build the USAF version via PM (this was why I hoped you'd all reply here). The first PM I got gets the USAF version, you'll have to choose another one.

Yes all - please respond to the threads when you want to beta build. Then we will be able to keep track of who does what. Also if you feel so inclined make a beta build thread at your forum of choice so that people know what kinds of things they might see in coming up in the store. You can link back to this thread too if you would like (only if you want to, its not obligatory) so that people can see that Paragon made one for free and also see what other liveries are available. (or later what might become available)
Thanks

Forgot to mention:

1 - Build time is pretty short, I'd estimate around four or five hours.
2 - I need pictures of the USAF version for use on my own website. Pictures of the other versions for the store here would be nice too.

A short build might be a good break from my current project of 200+ track links.

May I choose the Luftwaffe version or failing that the NF-104. E-mail is in my profile.

The e-mail in your profile is hidden.

Try again - you looked before I remembered to change profile settings.

Ok, finally, after over a week of designing, I've finally finished the different variants of my F-104 model. There are 15 total, including different color schemes, and experimental or concept variants.

Anyone interested in test building the CCV, CL-704 VTOL, CL-1200 or X-27, reply here.

I'll take on any of the experimentals. The CCV holds particular fascination as I have seen it in person, and the CL-1200 would be good as well. I can build concurrently, in my scale of 1/144, which gives the added bonus of seeing how well they scale.
