Really nice!!
I'm just wondering, are the hasegawa F-104's any different between the marks, or are they all the same sprue?

Thanks for the kind words. They are different. The "C" has a short tail, while the "G" and "J" have a larger tail. They also do an "S" with bulged main gear doors. They provide the associated seats with them as well as they are different from the early models to the ones that are/were used in Europe. DACO Products out of Belgium is doing an update set for this airframe that is really extensive covering almost the entire plane. BUT...it hasn't made it to the streets just yet.
Thanks again, much appreciated. "Q"

Matt, welcome back. Three very nice builds for sure. I really like the overall finish and decaling on the Japanese F104J. My only issue is that the pictures of the 1st F104C, your flash really reflected off the NM finish, making it very hard to see your excellent work.
