1/144 Lockheed F-104A/C/G 'Starfighter At War' (2in1) - Mark I Models

Lockheed F-104A/C/G 'Starfighter At War' (2in1) Mark I Models 
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. The F-104 was a single-seat, all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a GE J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward. It mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose and two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip.

The Starfighter prototype flew in February 1954 and the first F-104A production aircraft were delivered to the USAF early in 1958. In total, 153 F-104As were produced of which 10 a/c were also supplied to Pakistan. The next single-seat version was the F-104C, configured for tactical strike missions. This model featured a more powerful engine, removable in-flight refuelling probe and could carry bomb and/or rocket pods on underwing and fuselage pylons. Later, F-104Cs were modified to carry another pair of Sidewinders under the fuselage. 77 aircraft were built and delivered in 1958-59.

The F-104G was the most important version, earmarked for production in Europe but was also built by Canadair and Lockheed. It was a multi-role, all-weather fighter possessing a strenghtened structure and enlarged tail surfaces. It was fitted with improved electronics and carried heavier weapons load. In total, some 1,120 F-104Gs were produced. The Starfighter had only a relatively short career with the USAF, but it became the backbone of a number of NATO and Allied air forces, serving all over the world from the 1960s well into the early 2000s.

1/144 Lockheed F-104J/DJ Starfighter 'Eiko In Japan' (2in1) - Mark I Models

Lockheed F-104J/DJ Starfighter 'Eiko In Japan' (2in1)
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. Its prototype flew in 1954 and the first series aircraft were delivered four years later. The first single-seater Starfighters were designated F-104A/CF-104, C and R/TF-104G, while the trainers were called F-104B, D/CF-104D, F and TF-104G.

The Japan Air Self-Defense Force took delivery of a total of 210 all-weather interceptor Starfighters designated F-104J. Similar to the F-104G, 3 a/c were Lockheed-built, while the rest was supplied by Mitsubishi; production was underway in the period 1962-67. Twenty F-104DJ two-seat trainers, similar to the F-104Ds, were provided by Lockheed and assembled in Japan during 1962-64.

The F-104 was an all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a J79 turbojet (locally-built units were fitted to Japanese a/c). It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward on single-seaters, while that of the two-seat version retracted rearward. The F-104J/DJ had the fin area increased, compared to that of the A or C model. The single-seater mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose and two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip and/or below the fuselage. Drop tanks could also be carried.

The Japanese F-104s entered service in 1966 and the last one was retired in the spring of 1986. Beginning in 1988, 14 a/c were converted to the UF-104J/JA remotely-controlled drones for aerial target practice. Some 27 F-104J/DJs were also supplied to Taiwan to serve with the RoCAF.

Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. Its prototype flew in 1954 and the first series aircraft were delivered four years later.

The F-104 was a single-seat, all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a GE J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward. It mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose, two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip and optionally also another pair of AAMs beneath the fuselage or wings.

The F-104G was the most important version, based on the previous C model, modified to serve as a multi-role, all-weather fighter. It possessed a strenghtened structure and enlarged tail surfaces. It was fitted with improved electronics and carried heavier weapons load. This Starfighter version was earmarked for production in Europe, where substantial numbers were built by Fiat, Fokker, Messerschmitt/MBB and SABCA for local air forces, but this variant was also built by Canadair and Lockheed. In total, some 1,120 F-104Gs were built. Concurrently, a gunless reconnaissance version, the RF-104G, was produced, but in service a number were modified to G model’s fully armed standard.

West Germany’s two air arms, the Luftwaffe and the Marineflieger, operated a total of 749 F/RF-104Gs between 1961 and 1991. Italian Air Force received 125 F/RF-104Gs and used them from early 1960s until 1993. The Netherlands took delivery of 120 Fokker and Fiat-built F/RF-104Gs and flew them in the period 1962-84. Spanish Air Force utilised 18 F-104G Starfighters between 1965 and 1972.

1/144 Lockheed F-104B/D/F/TF Starfighter 'Mach 2 Trainer' (2in1) Mark I Models

Lockheed F-104B/D/F/TF Starfighter 'Mach 2 Trainer' (2in1) Mark I Models
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. Its prototype flew in 1954 and the first series aircraft were delivered four years later.
The first two-seat trainer was the F-104B, which was designed for the USAF and flown in 1957. The next two-seater was the F-104D, based on the single-seat tactical strike F-104C. In 1959, a two-seat
F-104F was developed from the D model for training and produced by Lockheed for West Germany. Thirty aircraft of this type were produced in 1959-60. The CF-104D was a Lockheed-built two-seater (similar to the TF-104G), ordered by the RCAF. 16 of 38 ‘CF’ trainers poduced were fitted with slightly different equipment and designated CF-104D Mk.2. In 1971-73, seven former Canadian CF-104Ds were transferred to Denmark after having brought up to TF-104G standard. The TF-104G was a two-seat combat trainer, of which 220 were produced by Lockheed in 1962-66. Four TF-104Gs were supplied to Norwegian Air Force in 1963 and they were phased out of service early in the 1980s. Turkey utilised a total of 54 TF-104Gs, of which 36 were former German aircraft, supplied in the 1980s. This type was retired from Turkish service in the early 1990s.

The F-104F/D/TF-104G was a two-seat, all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. The fin had an increased area and its nose undercarriage retracted rearward. It was disposed of the nose-mounted multi-barrel gun, but some could carry two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip.

Early Starfighter two-seaters were primarily used for pilot training, while the dedicated TF-104Gs were also combat-capable. Alongside the single-seat F-104s they served with all NATO and Allied air forces all over the world from the late 1950s well into the early 2000s.

The Royal Air Force operated nine L-1011-500s TriStars, six ex-British Airways and three ex-Pan Am.[2] The TriStars were bought in the immediate aftermath of the Falklands War to bolster the long range capability of the RAF in the transport and tanker roles, as the demands of refuelling Hercules supporting forces stationed in the Falklands was rapidly using up the fatigue life of the RAF's Handley Page Victor tankers.

The original Eastern Express Tristar was released in 2015 (see here for sprue shots ), This version comes with two decal options and a seperate sprue containing the in-flight refuelling probe and  rear fuselage refuelling positions.

1/144 Lockheed C-141 Starlifter - Roden

In the late 1950s the USA's fleet of transport aircraft contained outdated planes with piston engines, such as the C-118, C-121 and C-124. The newest was the C-133 with turboprop engines, however the military authorities wanted to acquire jet-powered transcontinental cargo aircraft, as the US military presence in various conflict zones around the world necessitated quick delivery of military supplies to distant countries. In 1960 there was a competition to design such an aircraft, the winner of which was the Lockheed firm. Designated the C-141A, its first flight took place in 1963, and in 1965 airplanes began to flow to the military from the production lines. At this time the war in Vietnam was already running high, and the USA had to speed large amounts of equipment there for the army. The situation was critical as well because C-133 machines had been taken out of service at the same time due to structural fatigue. Initially 132 machines of this type were ordered, and later their number was increased to 284. The project was very ambitious - more than 12,000 engineers and others in more than 1,300 plants in the USA and Canada took part in it, more than 5,000 people from just the Lockheed firm being involved.

One of the significant limitations of the first production model was the relatively small volume of its cargo cabin: although capable of lifting 32 tons, the aircraft could only accommodate a 22 ton payload. This prompted Lockheed to make changes to the design, and so 271 C-141A aircraft were converted to C-141B configuration. The rebuild continued from 1977 to 1979, when these machines were returned to active service, which lasted nearly 20 years. The capacity of the design, which was significantly strengthened, was doubled. The C-141B took part in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, but it was their last major operational use. Structural wear took more and more planes out of service, and they were replaced by the new C-17.

The C-141 is remembered since for having one of the lowest accident statistics from flight incidents. Additionally, a number of world aviation records were achieved with it - dropping a parachute landing platform of 15,900 kg, and lifting cargo with a total weight of 31,800 kg.

1/144 Lockheed SR-72 Hyper-Sonic Reconnaissance Drone(2015) - Fantastic Plastic
In late 2013, Lockheed Aircraft announced it was developing the long-awaited successor to its legendary SR-71 "Blackbird" supersonic reconnaissance aircraft. Fittingly dubbed the SR-72, it's being pitched as a Mach 6 hypersonic aircraft capable of both recon and combat missions.


Although approximately the same size as the SR-71, the SR-72 will be unmanned. In other words, it's a drone. The plane reportedly uses a turbine to accelerate to Mach 3, then switches to a dual-mode ramjet to achieve Mach 6 -- more than 4,100 mph!

1/44 McDonnell Phantom - Operation "Limey Rhino"

1/44 Phantom - Operation "Limey Rhino"  

A project is in progress to produce the RAF variant  MD Phantoms with Spey engines and other RAF options, with the involvement of John Haverstock the man whose mission to create and model a 1/144 phantoms of every type,  period, configuration and colour would put a Japanese Zero collector to shame as last i heard his collection was in excess of 200 items... - it should be good!

Both the FG.1 and the FGR.2 will be available as a basic and a 'deluxe" kit. The deluxe kit will have some optional features that the basic kit wont have.

Neither will be cheap, The FG.1 and FGR.2 will likely only be the first of the Phantom "super kits" that this designer will produce. (plans exist to produce a YF4H-1, an RF-4B,C,E and an RF-4X.)

The kit will have options of gear up, in flight or on the ground landing gear struts, early and late vertical tails, a clear one piece canopy, open or closed radome, and the typical boom stuff found on British Phantoms including SNEB rocket pods!

The FG.1 will have the extended for take off nose gear strut, launch lugs and non slotted stabilators. The FGR.2 will have slotted stabs and no launch lugs.

The Deluxe kits will also have a full cockpit, four piece canopy, boarding ladders, optional position outer wing panels, flaps, ailerons, speed brakes and refueling probe.

The basic and deluxe kits both will have all four aux air doors open.

Alps printed decals available for both the FG.1 and FGR.2

Possible the most famous and recognisable aircraft to come out of Lockheed's Skunk works'!?

This was one of the first aircraft I had a poster of on my wall as a young boy, that and the cockpit of Concorde!
