Einar Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Hi, I´m in the last stages of finishing my Amodel Tu-104A in 1/144 scale. I have tried to find the position of the beacon lights of the airliner in many pictures but without success. Could somebody tell me where the lights are located. Thanks.

bentwaters81tfw Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Red mid chord on the fin top, and just ahead of the tail bumper, possibly a third on the belly c/l just ahead to the intakes. Drawings and one photo I have seem to bear this out. The fin top beacon is not always visible on photos. White/clear strobes at the rear of the wing tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdaniel Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 There are 2 anti-collision lights on Tu-104 as on this photo. White steady pos.light at the wingtips and at the rear of the fuselage (also visible on this photo) Originally there was no white strobe lights on those Tupolevs as they were not reqd by that time. However on the model there is no difference by appearance of strobe/steady pos.lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Early Tu-104 did not have tail strobes at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Tu-104A I'm modelling is the very OK-LDA. So no beacons on the tail or in front of the tail skid Cheers, Einar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
