Looking for 1/6 F-104 Fuselage
Hi All,
I'm on the hunt for a 1/6 F-104 Fuselage for a project I'm working on, I don't need the whole aircraft, just the fuse. I'd appreciate any tips on where to get one in the Sydney, Australia area.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Going for the land speed record are we??
Good use for the afterburner. [8D]

As a matter of fact....yes!! I'm after the first run of 200mph for an RC car. The one I have at the moment isn't "slippery" enough and is somewhat limited by the drag etc... Am after a nice big engine for it too, possibly the big Behotec 300F, methinks 72 pounds of static thrust plus an afterburner should do the trick......Just have to convince Behotec to "allow" me to use one of their engines. The plan is to attend the world RC speed championships in the UK next September if I can get all my ducks in a row..!
Cheers,
Smithy.

Hi Brett,
Cool project!!!!!! 200 mph
Philip Avonds has a 1/7 F-104
http://www.avonds.com/
Jetwelt has a 1/5 F-104
http://www.jetwelt.de/2-jetwelt_7.html
I dont know of any 1/6 scale F104's. I have the Jetwelt one and its huge!!!! its about 3.5 meters long. If you wanted to use the Behotec 300F I think you would have to go to 1/5 scale to fit the engine in.
Cheers,
Paul R

Hey Paul,
Thanks muchly for the links. I can pretty much make the B300 fit into the 1/7,, will be a tight squeeze though, I can make alterations to the fuse though, it doesn't have to be exactly to scale or anything, I can widen and lengthen as required.
Biggest problem I will face is heat management, the A/B pumps out ~1550c at full burn, The engine will be mounted as far rearward as possible too..... with some of the afterburner can out the back, plenty of heat shielding required methinks.
