Thank you very much, PrivateMansoor :)

First I planned to only build the aircraft, but while I was doing research about F-104 I found some info about NF-104, the USAF astronaut training program for the X-15 and I recalled the movie "The Right Stuff" so I decided to go for that theme.

Tommy, I was looking back to find your name as my inspiration for my Tamiya build and realized that I never commented on your finished build!
:bash: :bash: :bash:

Beautiful work and I love the base! I hope my tribute to Chuck Yeager and "The Right Stuff" will be half as good!
