What would be required to convert... (F-104 question)


Recommended Posts

Depends on which nation’s twin seaters you want to do.  The main difference is in the seats, gear doors, and wheels.  The DJ has Lockheed seats, narrow wheels, and flat gear doors.  Many, but not all, NATO TF-104Gs have Martin Baker seats, wide wheels, and bulged MLG doors.

Seems like the bulged doors is probably the biggest hurdle.  Sure you can get the resin seats, maybe the tires... but doors?

 

Thanks Dave.

 

I believe both the narrow and wide tires are on the same sprue in all of the Hasegawa 1/48 kits, but the seats and bulged gear doors are not.

@Winnie  Thanks.  I spent some time looking at stuff online about the Norwegian 104s after seeing your post.  They still have quite a few on display around the country.  Pretty cool.  Plus that D that was just made airworthy too!

 

What is that color green on them, do you know?
