First round of primer, which did of course reveal some areas of improvement. -
@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros
-
Excellent progress, my friend @johnb! -
Air intakes are on, as said by George @gblair previously, the fit is not that great and seams need to filled. Plastic putty did the trick. The canopy is masked. Both, canopy and wing tip tanks, are on […]
-
@clipper, the wing tip tanks could be replaced with missiles. With wing tip tanks installed, they could carry them underneath the fuselage.
-
John (@johnb), I haven't researched the F-104 much yet, so I am unsure of how they carried missiles if the wing tip tanks were used. Perhaps they were limited to the gun. That seems unlikely. Maybe mounted to the […] -
@fiveten, thank you, Spiros @clipper, thanks, Carl. From what I remember, the Dutch 104s did carry wing tip tanks most of the time, so that is what I'm going for. @fxrob, thanks a lot, Felix. @j-healy, thank you, John.
-
Nice clean work, John. -
That F104 is coming along nicely, John @johnb! All that sanding takes time but it’s worth the effort! -
Very nice John (@johnb). Are you putting missiles or wing tip fuel tanks on this bird?
-
Looks excellent so far, my friend @johnb!
-
Wings and horizontal stabilizer are on.
-
Very interesting and splendid execution of your Tante Ju Walt @luftwaffe-birdman Following with interest obviously -
You come up with some interesting projects, @luftwaffe-birdman, and this is one of the most interesting. -
These floats look very realistic, my friend @luftwaffe-birdman! Great additions! Your experience on working with real floats certainly helped a lot. And yes, you are a lucky man working with the real thing!
-
Lots of work on those struts and floats, but they do look great, Walt @luftwaffe-birdman Pretty sure they are very close to the original ones. Must be awesome to be able to work on that Goose.
-
@eb801, thank you, Eric. So far I'm pretty happy with the outcome, definitely an approach that I will use more often from now on. Going to have a look for the black one from AMMO, thanks for letting me know.
-
I have been working on adding some details to the floats and spent some time cleaning up the struts that attach them to the plane. I added panel lines and rivets and then a chine rail and keel. I don't know if […] -
That CA glue worked well, didn't it, John, @Johnb? AMMO makes a black CA glue. Sure makes it easier to see what you're sanding. -
@clipper, I did sand the surface approximately fifteen minutes after applying the CA. That worked quite well. I need to check where I can get that black CA, never seen it here so far. @fiveten, thank you, Spiros.
