Combat Warplanes / Re: The real stuff: more SAAB's!

SAAB won the contract at 29 March 1968 for the delivery of 20 single seat fighters and two trainers [but with combat capabilities] to the Denmark. The primary role in the Denmark was ground attack. Plane had eleven hardpoint. The same version XD was developed from original F [Filip Ett and Filip Tva] and it comprised RWR retrofitted tail, 30 mm ADEN cannon external mounting, bilget canopy and no radar. This planes replace F-100 Super sabre in service.

I got some info from the USAF History services and this could be photograph of the F-104s acquired by NASA involved in experimentation with different radomes including a radome from a U-2.   The NASA number they believe is 820. I try to find some info from NASA officials and still wait for their reply.

Aircraft Modeling / Griffon 1/72

There is one interesting kit of the Nord Griffon test plane. Model is made by Airmodel from Germany and main parts are vacuu form and the small part are epoxy resin casted. Cockpit canopy is clear vacuu form. Instruction is made on two sheet paper, one with basic instruction and the other one with technical drawings and paint scheme. No decal included. Kit is correct in shape while some of the panels have to be rescribed.

Preturao sam po USAF Material Command al nikako da nadjem. Mada imam utisak da je ista kao prethodna samo da je hemija druga.
