Canadair CF-104 Starfighter V.1

3,209 EGplanes  4.1 years ago

This is my first aircraft with a (mostly) funtional cockpit. Although it may not be very detailed, it works, and it's pretty accurate to the real thing. The speedometer is the top left instrument, in knots, the altimeter is below the speedometer (in feet), the two dials below the top right instrument are fuel gauges, and the rest of the dials are relative to throttle (RPMs, fuel flow, pressure.) The six lights, from left to right represent: Activation of AG2 for landing hook, Ammo for the rockets, landing gear for the next two, rocket ammo again, and finally landing chute.
Instructions:
AG1 to release rocket pods.
AG2 to lower hook.
AG3 to release landing chute.
VTOL for flaps.
I made this build quite accurate using blueprints, but unfortunately sacrifices had to be made for the realism of performance. I did create the Canadian flag and RCAF roundel by hand, which was tedious and so was the cockpit, so I hope you all enjoy. Also, (maybe) expect another version in the future.
