Title: F-104G ZELL
Post by: Domi on September 05, 2011, 10:25:55 AM

I'm interested in modelling this rocket take-off assisted 'variant' of the Starfighter, but lack info on the actual launch platform...  Anyone here who can help with pictures and drawings?

Thanks,

Domi

Thanks for your help so far, but I already had most of those views.  It's the platform that is proving very elusive!

Will you try to build this? :-think

Yes, the idea is to create a conversion set for the Revell 1/144 kit...

1/144 ?? :-eek :-eek
Isn't that so small for such a complicated scrathcbuild build of ramps and rocket boosters? :-think

There is bitter problem with base construction for launching system, it look like that USA and German did not the same?

Or maybe I am wrong?

Hmmm...  Srecko is definitely too nice!  But no, I think the scale is not too small at all.  It's a beautiful kit Revell gave us, and I think it's time to do something with it!

I love that picture, Srecko!!!!!  Any more like this???????

I have send emails to my friends researchers in USA to see if they could help. This image is all I have seen.

Mmmm...  I did not realise there was a trench under the aircraft...  That complicates things a bit.  Keep that sort opf images coming guys, because the more I have the better and more accurate the kit will be.  Thanks!
