MAShelley Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Looks great! Any suggestions for a reference on the differences between the N and G versions? (I have a 1/72 104G in the closet.) Now you just need an XB-70 to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Looks great! Any suggestions for a reference on the differences between the N and G versions? (I have a 1/72 104G in the closet.) Now you just need an XB-70 to go with it. Actually, Bill finished the AMT XB-70 several years ago. Too bad the F-104 is 1/48 and the XB-70 is 1/72. Maybe he will post a photo of the XB-70 here. It looked fantastic also. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 The F-104N was just an F-104G that was loaned back to NASA. There were 3 of them loaned to NASA. They were initially nmbered 011, 012, 013. The numbers were changed to 811, 812, 813. 813 crashed into the XB-70 on June 8, 1966. The other two surviving N's were given the civilian registration numbers of N811NA, and N812NA. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareWentzel Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 A member of our club, Paul Love, completed another 104 in the same scheme for display in the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago. It was part of a display honoring Maj. Robert H. Lawrence, Jr. Check out Maj.
