Id like to do one like that and the Aluminum scheme also. The grey/ green splinter was the "Norm 62" scheme, introduced from 1964. From 67/68 the German Marine aircraft changed from the Norm 62 scheme to Basalt grey on upper surfaces and dull silver lower surfaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not in your scale but I bought the Kinetic CF-104G because it contains the old Canadian Dominion flag (Maple leaf and Union Flag) on the tail as an option. Memories of the original Airfix Starfighter box art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memories of the original Airfix Starfighter box art. Not many Starfighter colour schemes appeal to me, but the classic Canadian bare metal with white wings hits the spot perfectly, as does conversely the Danish / Norwegian / Canadian overall green. I may have to invest in a Kinetic Zipper now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I was just wondering. Would the Canadian aircraft with 'century' designator count such as CF-116,188,100,105 133 ,144, 137 and so on??? I'm not planning to enter any more ,as I just got thinking....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 re the under nose sensor on Udorn based F-104Cs in 1966-67 as seen in these photos. I'm modelling 57925 from the Italeri kit & although the sensor/aerial is very obvious, the is no provision in the kit so I'll need to scratch one, so I'm wondering just what they looked like other than dark & blobby. Any info, drawings etc appreciated. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Can't help with any more detailed pics than the ones you have linked to unfortunately Steve, the shape does appear to be quite basic though, almost like a wedge shape. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for a CF-104 though. they call it an ECM pod Hi Loren, thanks for that, it looks as though it is in the right place, not quite so deep as the Udorn based F-104Cs maybe. Perhaps I need to put this out to a wider knowledge base in the Cold War aircraft discussion. Belay that. Thanks to @LorenSharp's post above & a search for "F-104c ECM blister" I found this page, which gives me all I'll need I reckon. Not one but three small shapes to be scratched. There goes my OOB build. Dare I go for some shapes on the dash board too. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Well, my five are in the gallery. Yay me! Many to @Dansk and @modelling minion for hosting this great groupbuild and providing an excellent level of support and encouragement. With a groupbuild of this size and popularity, that's a big job! In addition, this weekend I have also completed one for the Canadian GB, one for the Monogram GB and three (well, one project) for the Platinum Jubilee GB. I'm exhausted! Think I'll go and lie down in a darkened room and take a couple of weeks off modelling. Nah... I'm sorry. That was a bare faced lie! I'm starting a couple more for the Monogram GB tomorrow. I have another F-86, two F-5s, two F-15s and a P-38 in progress. And then next weekend I will be starting seven for the Prototypes megaGB. I love my hobby. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are most welcome as far as the support goes, you give us all no end of support by moderating all of the GB area and making the job of hosting and co-hosting much easier than it could be and the behaviour of our members also helps a great deal. I am really glad that you enjoyed the GB and would like to thank you once again for your outstanding contribution. 🇺🇦 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Yes, thanks for your commitment to the gb enzo, what a haul you produced, we're glad you enjoyed it.

nimrod54 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 @modelling minion, @Dansk, @Enzo Matrix Hey guys, I don't know if you have noticed that the F-104 Gallery has locked. I have a couple of builds to pop in over the weekend if someone could arrange for it to be opened up. Cheers, John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
