@F104Deathtrap OMG I am!
Hell yeah, you're on the front page now!
@Ian1231100 Yup, it was basically just an intermediate range cruise missile with a little cockpit up front. It took the Airforce a few years to get its head together and realize they needed planes that could do more than just "go really really fast."
@F104Deathtrap Yeah, I know. Some also refer to it as the Manned Missile, probably due to its shape and speed.
@Ian1231100 The F-104 had many names, particularly in Germany, where it was responsible for ending the lives of no less than 110 Luftwaffe pilots. Coffin nail was one name, fliegender sarg (flying coffin), witwenmacher (widowmaker), or erdnagel (tent peg) were a few others. Don't get me wrong, Chuck Yeager made history flying this jet, and it was an amazing piece of technology, but it never should have seen mass production. Plenty of aircraft have a dark history, this is one of them. But you've made a great model of a beautiful plane and you should feel proud.
@F104Deathtrap Why don't try build the F-104? After all, it's in your name. ;)
@F104Deathtrap Correction: Manned Missile.
That's one mighty fine looking coffin nail you built there.
@Pilotmario Sorry, my bad. I didn't study WWII history.😅
Oh yah, this plane
@Ian1231100 Those balkenkurz should be Iron Crosses.
@Pilotmario huh, you are correct!
Although those should be Iron crosses, not balkenkurz. @ChiChiWerx
@Stellarlabs the F-104 was designed by Clarence Kelly Johnson (American), built by Lockheed (American company) and flow by the USAF (American air force)...but in fairly limited numbers So, he's correct. The Luftwaffe (German air force), though, was THE major user of the Starfighter, so depicting it in German colors is correct, as well.
@Ian1231100 i dont remember
@Stellarlabs Well, the F-104 was originally an American plane, right?
@Ian1231100 the craft's design has some problems. theres a iron cross on it and a german flag when the tag says USA.
@BrianAircraftsNew yUm JaAm!
Lol @Ian1231100
@Ian1231100 np
@Kevinairlines See? I told you I would build an F-104 for this.
@MAHADI Thanks! :D
