The Berlin Crisis ANG F-104s were A models, not C models. But most differences between the types were internal. The main external difference will be to leave off the air refueling probe, as the A did not have that capability. Aside from that, looking at photos, when the ANG F-104 squadrons were federalized and called to active service, the ANG markings were removed and they took on a rather “plain Jane” appearance with just basic USAF markings along with “buzz” and serial numbers.
This is a Tennessee ANG F-104 at Ramstein AFB during the Berlin Crisis deployment.
Oh yes, I think that you’ll really enjoy the Hasegawa F-104 kit. It is light years ahead of the old Hawk kit regarding detail and appearance. I have one in my stash but can’t say how well/easily that it builds. It just looks really good in the box, amd the ones that I’ve seen built up in person are gorgeous.
Here is some good info on that deployment
