Gazzas Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Excellent look to the IP's. Gonna have to try to emulate that. F-104nut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi F104nut, The IP's look great. I realize you are building it out the box but you might consider after market Sidewinders. The ones in the kit are for the USAF and not for the Navy versions. (They are also a bit short). The LAU-7 launchers are correct for Navy/Marine aircraft. Hope it helps Regards Cheetah11 F-104nut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheetah11 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi F104nut, You are looking for a AIM-9D/G/H. I believe Zacto models produce them in resin. I used ones from the Tamiya Tomcat on the F-4J that I built. They are also the correct shape. That cockpit is really looking nice.

F-104nut Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Burner cans and intakes ready for paint Brian F`s are my favs and Tomcat14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-104nut Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 1/32 Tamiya F-4J Intakes installed and talk about a pain in the ass . I thought about resin intakes but not good with them at all. And even if I decided to do putty work on kit intakes it would have been a night mare . Next to get burner section done ! Brian Gazzas, F`s are my favs, Doctorgaz and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
