Hi guys,
Could anyone of you please give me a reference to the scale positioning of all the lights on the F-104. I have the SM model and a light kit from Details4scale. So before I start making holes in my model I would like to make sure.
Thanks for your help.

Navigations lights - 4 total. two on intake and two on tips.
beacon - there is one in front of fin- not all 104 have this - and one below
white light - behind cockpit. On SM kit this goes out with the cockpit cover.
4 formation flight lights on rear section of fuselage. They are white and orange altough color may change. Also there is a control on cockpit where pilot can make these lights blink or not. So your choice if you want them to blinking or not.

The navigation lights on the tips - if using tip tanks, do they still go on the wing, or on the tip tanks. If so, where?
The beacon in front of the fin - where, on the top of the fuselage? If so, then it will be in the same area of the rear section as the formation lights. Right?
Landing lights - one on each main leg and one on the nose leg?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Jan

I am not sure I understand completely.

Hi To All ,
after long years of jet flying I guess time for me to get one 104 , its really beautiful plane . as we have a grass take off, I plan to use K210 turbine. I would like to know your experience, I read from different forums everybody says increase turbine 4mm and muffler in 2 degree position seems the best. this case what s the best CG point 120 mm or ?
also specially want to know your idea if this plane so advance for a guy who flies good with Avanties , F16s in any size from 1/8 to 1/5 , hawks from small to 1:3 , and flew more than 50 scale world war gasoline planes over 2-3 m span … I trust myself for many kind of planes but whenever I look 104's wings it makes me think over again and again …and no confidence at all
please advice .. thanks

Same evaluations/thinking myself these days... more/less same personal experience... and I always loved so much the Starfighter (real and rc ones)....
As far as I know, this jet flies beautifully and not difficult to handle, of course if correclty finished and balanced, like so many other jets anyway.
I think it's time go far that... 😉✈
