Planebuilder62 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hi there Her are some picutes of my recently completed build. The building process decribing the scratch built parts can be found in the WIP section. The plane modelled here was flown by Chuck Yeager in an attempt to set a World Altidue record but didn’t end too successfully as shown at the end of the original ‘The Right Stuff’ film. On a more positive note the NF-104A is posed with Chuck Yeagers P-51D and the X-1 that nade him famous. regards Toby 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Very good. I always fancied building an NF104. There's a great website on the NF104 written by another test pilot on the program. The late Bob Smith which is fascinating. He is less than complimentary about Yeager's role in the accident.
