Lovely!

Got one of CF-104D Serial #637 as well? That would rock, as it is the one being restored here in Norway smile


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Not yet as the two-seaters are a recent addition to my collection, I assume they would be the same configuration as the Canadian machines? Basically TF's without the IR bubble bump in front of the windscreen? Should be fairly easy to do if so smile I have a few more Japanese machines to do, after that I will do a Norwegian TF and a CF-104D, that should finish the norwegian chapter. After that I am looking at the greek airforce since I already have this one half done;

Looking forward to see some Royal Danish Air Force goodness!

I guess that the worn-out camo will be a challenge but I think it looks cool...

Well it looks doable and I think they that it will look good in profile. On 254 in the top photo it almost looks like they coated it in a primer and then only sprayed the panel lines or something smile

Well Freycinet what do you think so far?



This will be the clean, neat and tidy end of the spectrum. I have a picture of this machine in this state, the orange effect is paintburn due to engine heat, something the F-100 Super Sabre is famous for too!

Haven't gotten around to much lately due to my day job, some other assignments for profiles, coursework and the paintball season starting back up. I will get in touch with the people at Bodo soon! Meanwhile here is a start at the West German Luftwaffe's machines;
