More about F-104 Fine Molds 1:72

 

[A4K]

Not an F-104 fan, but that iooks impressive!

 

[Zippythehog]

It was not much of a glider. The approach speeds were around 160knots. It had boundary layer bleed air. Which was air tapped from the compressor side of the engine and blown across the wing to augment airflow. Without that, the approach speeds were above 200 knots. So touch down in normal ops would be about 150ish knots, or about 175 miles per hour.

And because the plane was so fast, the ejection seat exited the pilot out of the bottom of the plane. Obviously, not an option when landing.

Much respect for the Starfighter driver.

Only the early models had down ejection. That was fairly quickly changed due in large to most ejections happening on take off or landing.

I would like to add to this information that the model for the Italian F-104s was the MB. IQ-7A similar to the German one, but with the trapezoidal headrest

 

[CATCH 22]

Me too Jan. Maybe PE and resin.

Brassin is already PE + resin parts.
Hybrid could be the same but manufactured with wind or solar energy...
