Was browsing through Sirius Rocketry today. They have the new Odd'l Rockets F-104 Starfighter kit in stock. Second in the fleet fighter series after the F-16. Cool clear canopy.

These are awesome throwback kits, a page from model rocket history.
or a page from the 1981 Centuri catalog, that is:


We can only hope for more to come...
 
The F-104 Starfighter kit was released simultaneously at NARCON by JonRocket and on the Sirius Rocketry website.
Apogee will be getting their kits sent out on Monday.

The only resemblance to the Centuri kit is the size and decals!
The Centuri kit had fiberboard fins with folded rectangles for the intakes. I tried to make mine closer to the real jet profile.
The picture comparisons are here:

I don't know if there will be any more in the series, these two were my favorites.
Thanks for your interest -
