If you don’t mind me asking, Radium, is there any particular reason the 'G won’t be done? I’m asking from a purely neutral standpoint, of course. I understand you have many projects!

He did say a G would be modeled, it’s the skin he’s declining to make, it seems to me based on prev posts.

Hello,
Indeed. i will do F-104G.
But please understand that I can’t make all liveries.
So, I chose German Marine F-104 for the Kormoran capability.
I also chose F-104 ASA M for the heavy payload capability and because they were the last in the world to be operational.
Cheers,
Radium

Now if a brilliant skinner (skiner?) with, say, extensive experience skinning other Euros such as the Tornado somehow took up the challenge… : P

the least i can do is to contribute as i didnt manage to finish the project of Dema’s and Radium’s F-104’s merging and adding some details by me is at least make,or try to make, some skins if the owner of the model wants of course! And as i said before if anything else is needed i can provide it

I’ve a question regarding the fuselage AIM-9 pylons and rail:
Is the rail a regular LAU-127/128/129 ?
What is the pylon/adpator ? is it common to all F-104 (it looks really different from the one we currently use for F-104J) ? -

a. internal pylons BL-75
2. G -S Version pylons
a. internal pylon BL-75
b. external pylon BL-104
c. fusolage pylon BL-22
d. adapter pylon ( wing rail, external pylon, fusolage pylon) called " Red Dog " , + Lau -7 with aim9L
Aim9L Lau-7

Tanks a lot, so
Rail = LAU-7 (and not LAU-127/128/129)
Pylon = Red Dog (sorry, but “Attachment 42102” is invalid) -

Nice rack! Hahahahaha! Just getting it in before Aragorn does…

should work
Thanks !
But does someone have a close up picture of the fuselage pylon ? (the BL-22 also called red dog ?) under which you can load a LAU-7 for AIM-9 (or a bomb if I beleive some source in the web) ? -
The red dog pylons are the wingtip mounted launchers, they are a one piece launcher rail made from hi strenght aluminium alloy and its flanges are slotted at 3 places to insert the missiles lugs. The complete trailing section consists of transparent coloured plastic navigation light
The fuselage ones were called the catamarans launchers with 2 Aero 3B

Hello,
One remark :
these pylons apply only for F-104G, not F-104J or C.
For now, I only did J and C LAU-7.
I’m working now on Marinefliegergeschwader 2 F-104.
I already switched the engine from J79-GE-7A / J79-IHI-11A to J79-GE-11A.
I also implemented AN/ALE-40 CMDS.
I still have some minor tweaks to achieve, and also GQ-7A ejection seat to make.
I will then make AS34 Kormoran missile.
Any evidence of Orpheus Recce pod on Marine F-104G ?
I have very limited reference about F-104G.
Cheers,
Radium

Check the F-104 article on AirVectors.net…
“…Marineflieger RF-104Gs were built to a special standard, with long-range cameras mounted in a bay behind the cockpit shooting out windows in the sides of the fuselage. They retained the trimetrogon camera arrangement in the belly. They were often used to observe shipping and harbor activity in the Baltic, remaining over international waters and taking shots with the side-looking cameras.”
