F-104 Starfighter

Got my daily fix of 104, it will be a shame when you run out of them.

But why a urinating giraffe, what is the story behind that?

Their logo/mascotte at that time was a Giraffe, I think this was the best they could come up with when it came time to make the stencils for the zaps

Editing this some more, it shows how little paintschemes changed when the aircraft arrived in Turkey. The serial got applied but mostly they kept their original paintscheme, for years you could still pick out the previous owners like the KLu, Luftwaffe or Marineflieger.

These are starting to look like the Albatros to me

GREAT WORK

How about one of these

[Supah]

A man of good taste I see! I have a few of those in the works, few minor niggles here and there plus I need more and better images of the machines. Main basis for what I have now is a Belcher bits decal sheet I bought.

Hi,
I am looking for a profile of a F 104 so I can print it on some plastic coated foam to turn it into a flying RC airplane. I would be willing to print a second copy and ship it to you. (I will have to make wings if you don't have any) Would you be willing to send me a detailed profile?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Matrix, that actually sounds like a pretty fun project to be involved with. Do you have anything online to get an idea of how this would work and turn out?

[Matrix52]

Yes I do Here is a screenshot of the type of model. It uses rough depron foam but I found a plastic coated foam that can be printed on. I tested the printing and it is great. My email is flynsky48@GMail.com. This size RC airplane with smooth surfaces and professional printing would turn out a great model for flying or display.
