Jessica Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 When it comes time for the decals, I strongly recommend that you ditch the grape leaves that Italeri gave you and get a sheet from Canuck Models. There's a set designed especially for the Italeri kit which you'll absolutely love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 One more bit of advice before you get too far. Canadian Nuclear strike Starfighters weren't fitted with the cannon; they had extra fuel tanks instead. The Cannon wasn't installed until after the nuclear strike role was given up in 1972/73. Note the covered-over muzzle: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the covered-over muzzle: Hi jessica thanks for your interest and for the proper suggestions regarding the M61 cannon. This model belongs to the 417 Sq (Serial number 12744 converted in 104744 (Canuck decals) and dates back to the early 1970s era when the nuclear option was abandoned for the conventional one. My representation is precisely to capture the kind of restoration and in fact, the work will be represented inside a hangar with many parts removed (see the left wing, the nose and part of the tail) In this representation, it seems appropriate to insert the armament that, in historical reality respects what happened. font: CF- 104 on display at Air Force Museum of Alberta image posted only for discussion & historical reference.

Jessica Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Okay, if you're doing that particular museum example, the chosen scheme would be correct. In reality, the shape of the Maple Leaves was changed in 1965 to the more angular leaf in the Canadian flag, and the "R" was removed from "RCAF" in 1968. By 1973, the markings had been changed to this for the European based 104s: The bare metal scheme was retained for the Cold Lake birds, but the markings were pretty much identical to the green scheme: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 As mentioned, the bare metal scheme was common on Cold Lake CF-104s, when i did my CF-104 Armament Course in early 1983 the plane i trained on was still in bare metal and it had the gun.

Jessica Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 At the very end of CF-104 service a few Cool Pool 104s were painted in the then-current camouflage scheme. I think it was in preparation for their sale to Turkey. Here's one. Note that it doesn't have the radar warning receivers the European aircraft were equipped with: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
