Hello,

 

I'm back for a second build on LSP :piliot: If you want.... :blush:

The subject is a TF-104G from the German Air Force,my choice is a plane from the unit "JaboG 32" in 1967,a trainer planer with.... Two place! :D

This is the first version of this plane,with the first engine,first seat and the "Norm62" scheme

Normally,it's look like this :

Ah, a two seat zipper! One of my all time favourites.

 

I remember them well from my time at the Luftwaffe Weapons Training School (WaSLw 10) at Jever Air Base. The majority of the A/C were TF-104G but there were also some F-104F (and some Gs). I liked them most with four auxiliary fuel tanks as in the photo in the OP. However, they rarely flew in that config. But they almost always had the tip tanks installed because the internal fuel was hardly enough for take off in full burner :evil_laugh:

 

I'll be watching this closely. Please keep the pics coming.

 

Cheers

Rainer

Superb start on the zipper, I'll be watching this one and such a shame on the quality of the resin conversion, put me of buying one really.

I show picture from the other parts... :crying:

It's maybe a late resin set...

 

I keep just the vacuformed parts...
