Following the real F-104 a couple of weeks ago, here are some 1/3 scale models.

Here we have one pricey bunch of toys. I get allergic around people with that much money to burn.

All these big RCs seem to be coming out of Germany, which is not really surprising when you consider how meticulous the Germans are.

I'm sorry, but this is only 1/3 of a Sunday jet noise post. I demand a refund.

1/3 of a jet and three of them. Do the arithmetic...

I'm reading about the German decision to adopt the F-104 as a maritime strike aircraft, talk about ill-suited. The new Lufftwaffe and German manufacturers saw building a potent mach one fighter/strike plane as a sudden leap back to former greatness. Despite the fact that the F-104 was the wrong aircraft for the job. And the unforgiving flight characteristics cost them about a wing's worth of dead flight crew. They really needed something like Britain's Buccaneer but that was old tech and the Lufftwaffe wanted to vault ahead. Whether it could have worked killing Warsaw Pact ships and subs is the North Sea is a question never to be answered. I'm not even sure it worked out as a manufacturing Great Leap either since Germany seems to buy many foreign designs (and inherited former GDR MiG 29s post 1990. It probably helped them in joint endeavors like the Panavia Tornado.
