1/2 plane pics
Posted by Fly57 on Thursday, June 11, 2009 6:56 AM

Ok.....i hope this works.....and i hope Im doing it in the right place........admin, please move it if its wrong.The pics seem very big....sorry

As i said before ,this was just to prove the concept....it wont work with a lot of things, but it was fun and i think i can take it somewhere.

Thanks again to you all for your support......and please dont look to hard at it.Canopy frame isn't done.....no fuel probe or hook......

 

Cheers

Looking good from here.

Not all Starfighters had refueling probes:

From what I can gather, the F-104C, F-104D and Canadian C-104 had the removable probes.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I think it looks great! good concept and execution. I would post it on the Aircraft forum, get more comments there.

Don't worry too much about the picture size, it gets resized to fit on most browsers and you can click on it to see full size. Dial-up users may complain though!

Thanks very much,Im going to re stock my tools asap (ex wife decided she needed them) and really try to up the quality.The 104 has got to be one of the best lookers....may do just 1 more.

Anyway, thanks again

Are you going to do another 104? Seems to me you already have all the parts for another one already. 1/2 + 1/2 = 1!

Waikong,

Good point, but maybe next time. Due to my lack of tooling at the time of doing that one, i overcut most of the parts to allow for adjustment.....Ive kept everything, so i may have enough for something.

Once i get the right gear....then i guess it will  2 from 1.

Thanks for looking

 

Kind regards
