Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA1058 F-104B Starfighter 4101, ROCAF, Ching Chuan Kang AB, 1960.

In 1958 the USAF 83rd FIS temporarily deployed F-104As and Bs to Taiwan. The RoCAF showed interest in these aircraft so 22 F-104As and 5 F-104Bs were transferred to the 8th TFS of the 3rd TFW based at Ching Chuan Kang (CCK). The first two F-104s  (F-104B - 4101 and 4102) arrived on May 17, 1960. 

The F-104A and B stayed with the RoCAF until 1966 when they were shipped back to the U.S. who transferred them to Jordan and Pakistan. The F-104As and Bs were replaced with F-104Gs.
