Tim Mee Cold War Jets


Tim Mee Cold War Fighter Planes includes two fighters, an F11 Tiger US Navy fighter and this one, a US Air Force F104 Starfighter.


The US Navy only used 200 F11 Tiger jets but the Air Force.  Over 2,500 of these jets were built and used by 15 nations.


The model is about 1/72nd scale and works well with these Airfix soft plastic figures.



This is the packaging header card for these jets, and it shows the sticker placement.


Here are the stickers, one sticker for each upper wing is the norm for national insignia on US Air Force jets of the era and one on each side.  Thanks Tim Mee for the review samples.

Mike:
Always liked the Starfighter.
Kelly Johnson did okay with this bird.

Nothing more than a REAL BIG engine ("missile") with a pilot strapped into it.
(oh yeah, and small wings, rudder, and elevators)
They used to cover the wing leading edges while on the ground, because they were thin (and sharp) enough to seriously hurt you if you banged your head on them.

Carry on.
