Schöner Start! Bin dabei.

Since I have started the exact same kit, turning it into a Marineflieger 104 with Kormorans, I will most definitely be following 🙂

DerMattes
Danke Bernd 🙂
@Michael I only have the kit without the Marineflieger decals, hence the Peddinghaus ones. I 3d printed the Kormorans with the specific pylons for the F-104G. They were designed by cults3d.com/@Sufa312 after photos I have taken at the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung in Koblenz. I think he did a great job and the files are free 🙂

Welcome guys and thank you for your interest 🙂
Started working on the ejection seat. Decided to add the PE to the seat from the kit and see how this will look. Alternatively I have a resin MB MK.GQ-7(A) from Aires, but this thing does not look very different from the kit's seat. And the straps, etc. are PE as well.

Good Start!

Thank you Christian and Martin! Worked on the ejection seat, besides some weird curve in the PE strap I am quite happy with the result.

Joining the party, the cockpit looks really good 👍

Thank you S M and Łukasz 🙂

DerMattes
Well, it seems like I need to do something about the main gear.

11 September, 13:53

Łukasz Gliński
Or move the inner pylon outside, that should be simpler to do

👀 What museum is that reference picture taken from? Is that MBB's CCV test plane?

11 September, 15:36

DerMattes
Yes, it is the CCV test plane. How did you recognise it? I took the picture at the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung Koblenz earlier this year.

11 September, 17:00

S M
In the full picture #14 it reads on the plane. Thanks for the tip! I have the Hasegawa's kit of it (F-104G Starfighter (Hasegawa 01987, 1:72)) and wish to dare to build it someday.

11 September, 20:46

DerMattes
I can post some more pictures from it, at least in museum condition. It is a very interesting plane and surely makes for a great model! 👍

DerMattes
Did some modifications to the main gear (angle) and the Kormoran fins to better match the photos I took and the picture in the Duke Hawkins F-104 book.
@Łukasz moving th pylon to the outside would be the easiest way, yes. But as the wings are angled down, the clearance to the ground may become too low. Cutting the gear struts with a sharp knife was surprisingly easy 😉
