It’s repelled from the ground by how ugly it is.
One of the most beautiful jets to ever fly.
I’d rather say its body/fuselage was part of its lift concept. Anyway, tastes are not subject to debate chaps…grin.
Google “XF-104 Tony LeVier” and tell me that does not look very cool.
-
It appears that the jet took thalidomide whilst in the development stages.
-
I didn’t knew what was thalidomide…
Just check it…
What an horrible medecine… If we can apply that word to it…

Beside from the “exclusive” (IMHO sexv) look of the Starfighter,
the most impressive to me is her engine sound!Feel free to watch and listen to the sound(s) on YT videos.
… and turn it loud!BTW. I’m sure those Starfighters have infected me with the aviation virus,
when I was a 3-4 year old, playing in the garden, when those noisy 104’s flew
over middle franconia/bavaria at low alt, … back in the day ~1970.Cheers,

I have the 3d cockpit
I want this plane
I am a 104 lover
Keep going RadiumI noticed the textures are present in BMS vanilla install but not used. Is there a public pit available somewhere I missed?

Hello,
Today, I had been really busy for work, but I worked a lot on Eiko.
You might not see so much differences, but I did a lot of work to worrect some issues I had on the airframe, fuselage and tail. Then, I pierced the nose wheel bay and I created its doors.
Eiko is getting close to her final shape.
Something I’d like to share : in Japanese, Eiko, might have two writings and understandings :
栄光 : Eiko, litterally means “glory”.
栄子 : Eiko, is a Japanese female first name, which means “children of longevity”. Usually, Japanese first names ending with 子, “ko” are female first names. It litteraly means children. But 栄光, “Glory”, is also male first name, with the same pronounciation!I wanted to share this little Japanese language point, I think, some might be interested by it!
Best regards,
Radium

Guess what?
This is the start of one of my new projects…

Guess what it comes from!
Hope to hear from you!

Hello!
Some news here. Eiko is going quicker than expected. I pierced all the gear bays, did the external model cockpit (I won’t make a cockpit meant to be piloted for her), made arrestor hook, engine structure Almost everything is done.
If I am efficient, I will be done with external model tonight. I just have the gears to make, import my generic JASDF pilot (I will have to convert is for 80s’ it’s a matter of minutes). Then, I will DOF and Switch it (something really quick to make for this aircraft).
This aircraft is really quick to make. It’s before a big project I have to make… I’ll keep you in touch!
Enjoy!

I was waiting this pictures since 10 years.
Thank You, RadiumRegards

“quicker than expected”?!
I reckon you cheated by uploading the OP image of the canopy months after it was actually created!
Good job, that’s insanely fast!

Well, I didn’t thought, Starfighter would be easy to model. I still have minor bugs, but for now it’s not bad.
I was thinking, some of you might like to see this!

Amazing work Sir.

Hello!
Almost all of F-104DJ Eiko was achieved tonight. I still have some refinements to put to the plane, but everything is there.
I wanted to do more tonight, but I purchased a VR set (Homido V2), the only one as far as I know that can operate my Sony Xperia Z5 and I spent a lot of time watching VR 360° videos… I am still amazed by it! I love it!
I hope, you will like this little render!
Best regards,
Radium

One day, I will make it… But after another one, you know what I mean!
Thank you Dee-Jay!

Radium it is really amazing, thanks for your effort!
-
Radium, you will build the single seater variant as well? I know is not mean to be flyable, a real shame as is such an iconic airplane!!
Regarding the BIG PROJECT, hope is Mirage F.1 related, in my case is the plane I have been waiting since the times of FreeFalcon.
