F-104 prints
Ugo Crisponi is a talented and famous Italian illustrator who manages both JAPAN CONSULTING, a business consulting company powered by instruments of Information and Comunication Technology, and the AVIATIONGRAPHIC.COM, a guild of Aviation Artists & Illustrators offering more than 1.500 Squadron Prints, Lithographs, Illustrations and Aviation Art. Most of them are official lithos expressely made for U.S. Air Force, U.S. NAVY, U.S. MARINE CORPS, Luftwaffe, KLU, HEER, AMI, and lots of other Squadrons and Airborne Law Enforcement Units worldwide, from Italian State Police to Sacramento Police Department, Dutch Aviation Police, Italian Carabinieri Nuclei Elicotteri, Calgary Police Air Services, Gainesville Police Department, etc. Among the others, Ugo designed a large collection of Starfighter profiles that are particularly interesting since they show different colour schemes, configurations and markings of the F-104 G, S, ASA and ASA-M of the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force, ItAF). They are useful for both modelers, historians and enthusiasts. Each profile has a corresponding artwork (or ” Squadron print”) that contains information, badges or motto of the depicted Squadron as shown below. The collection of F-104 profiles is available at the following address:

J’aime qu’est ce que vous faites mes amis dans l’admarie et les F-104. J’espere que vous pouvez bientot metre un arret a toutes les petit problems dans la province de Libya. Je vous souhaite un retour a votre maison sans blessure quand vous faites vos “sorties”. Bonne chance ‘eh’ dans votre prochain ‘bombing’ !!!
