F-104 Request

[CuttingEdge100]

I was thinking of an F-104 derivative concept which has a bigger wing: I'm curious if anybody is willing to help.

I can furnish baseline drawings to work with

A plane, or a spacecraft that is inspired by the F-104? The latter might be kind of interesting, actually ... .

Would this upgrade it from Lawn Dart to Planet Dart?

It would be a modified F-104, basically a larger wing and a slight change in anhedral (the angle at which the wing is canted down)

Nah - Javelin

There are lots of F-104's for free download from 3-d Warehouse. You should be able to easily modify the wing in Sketchup (which is also free)

I hope that conceptual plane/spacecraft won't crash as often as the Widowmaker - sorry, I meant Starfighter

1. I don't have any 3D program

2. What's sketchup?

SketchUp is a free 3D software that's designed to make it easy for beginners to get started and there are several F-104 models for it out there: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=F-104+STARFIGHTER&backendClass=entity

Seriously.

Interesting brain fart.

I think it would look even better, if the wings were a little longer, and had some small sensor pods or something at the end.

 

[Ptrope]

Yeah, it's very much a WIP - I was also thinking about the pods on the ends of the wings, just because I'm used to seeing the F-104 with them .

 

[Ptrope]

Against my better judgment, this may actually result in a real starship: http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?p=10264162#post10264162

The T tail just looks silly

 

[Ptrope]

I'm sure I can find a way to justify it - maybe it's the impulse drive ...
