Let's see, Mirage IV (in production), MiG-21/F-7 Skybolt (done), Draken/Viggen, and certain Sukhoi and Shenyang interceptors, as not all delta-wing aircraft don't have stablizers (even the F-16 technically is a delta-wing). I'm not commenting on anything new I may or may not be doing at this time; as I have plenty of work for now with open projects and some MAIW model work.

Thanks Giorgio, that's a great site. I just finished up a large expansion pack for the F-8 Crusader, so now I can concentrate on some other things this week. The F-104s are getting multi-LOD betas this week, then off to Magic Mike for final FDE work.

I'm going to try to get the F-102 to multi-LOD beta this week as well, and try to get the TF-104 up to single-LOD alpha.

My other work is on the Mirage IV, the ongoing Mirage III/5 odyssey, finishing up some F-5s for MAIW, and maybe a little new work under wraps for now.

Hi Mike,
really great work !

Are you planning a RF-104G Recce-Starfighter? If you need drawings and photos, leave me a note. The RF-104G would make my Leck-Scenery(EDXK) more alive ...

regards from Kiel, Germany

I am somehow tempted to set up retro traffic...

these are going to be awsome

Down the rabbit hole again.......

Only 9 models, but 110 paints across this first part, uploaded to AVSIM later today in four packages:

USAF, NASA, USN (not a mis-print, two of them at China Lake NAWC), with F-104A/B, JF-104, and QF-104 (manned and NOLO models)

Pakistan, with F-104A/B, in metal finish, and the deployed Jordanian 9 Squadron re-branded with PAF roundels (and RJAF camo), these are not actual PAF aircraft. It took a long time to ferret out the information about this, because I couldn't find any photos of the PAF aircraft camouflaged, although there are several drawings to suggest this; and the research results make sense.

Jordan, F-104A/B, with 25 Squadron (metal) and the aforementioned 9 Squadron (camo). Since Jordan actually deployed this unit instead of giving/loaning the aircraft to Pakistan, all three export users have had air combat experience with this aircraft (kind of ironic....). Also, two out the three Pakistani F-104 losses in the 1971 Pakistan-India war were from the RJAF 9 Sqn, again, ironic....

Taiwan, F-104A/B, in 8th TFS (metal) and 41st TFS (camo).

Next stop (after finishing ROCAF Tigers) is F-104C/D....

Just so nobody wonders, the black intake cones are because the GSE includes intake covers, and they render in FSRepaint..... The cones underneath are painted appropirately for each model.....mp

Hey Mike, are going to try rendering the 3 NF-104's used by the Air Force Space School?

bismarck · Post by **bismarck** » 16 Feb 2013, 15:55

Awesome Mike, thanks.

thank you Mike

Good job as usual Mike.

I downloaded only the USAF package ( for now ). I noticed tha there is a Textures folder. May be it should be Texture.

mikeblaze · Post by **mikeblaze** » 16 Feb 2013, 23:35

Yes, probably......

I will sort that out with the C/D package. That one will go quick since there were less than 100 of both types built, and all were for the USAF. I have all base models done, just down to painting......mp
