Well, it had to do with an idea for a longer winged F-104
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Isn't that a U2?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Zenrat,

Flight International, 29 April 1986

QuoteBrazil is looking closely at a Swiss-led offer of 50 F-104 Starfighters...

SPICE, a Swiss company, has organised a package of 50 ex-Netherlands and Belgian Air Force Starfighters.

If this offer is accepted, SABCA of Belgium and Fokker of the Netherlands would overhaul and upgrade the aircraft for a further 2,000 hours of service.  An upgrade of the avionics -- to F-16 standard -- is an option and complete overhaul of the Starfighters' J79 engines would be carried-out by CELMA of Brazil.

That would be an interesting build
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

And just where would the fuel be carried? In a tanker flying just in front I suppose........

Internally and the wing-tip tanks.
As they're lift-fans rather than lift-jets the fuel usage may not go up too dramatically.

Proposal to fit the Rolls Royce Avon in the F-104 Starfighter as an alternative to the Mirage IIIO. From Secret Projects:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Yeah, that one should be done in plastic, and it surely can't be all THAT difficult, can it?

Actually yes, you can bet it'd take a TON of PSR to do it properly!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit
