Sky Guardians F-104?

Just received the Pakistan Airforce F-014? (should be A or B ) and the Italian F-104S weird the Pakistan Air Force F-104 is called an F-104S in one place and an F-104A in another place, there are photos of the model with a fuel probe but none with the model ???????????? to be honest they are heavy that is about as good as it gets....make good throwable paperweights or doorstops ...sorry can't be any kinder than that (These were pre-ordered so I had to take pot luck..................) and no stand ....

Don't cry....its not the first time that Witty hasn't lived up to expectations. I've just given up on them so far. All I can say is that their F-18, some (and not ALL) their F-15s and the F-16's are ok. Everything else seems to be a dissappointment for me

It's just too bad Witty screwed it up with their F-104...bigtime! What else is there to say...

I am just thankful that HM and Corgi are doing Luftwaffe versions because the Witty Wings one will be c**p. Its the Luftwaffe one I really have been waiting for.

Hi I know as the 9th only had F-104A and F104B versions the only reason I am interested is that the publicity shots and in fact all the boxart shows a probe fitted and also a pair of sidewinders on the fuselage pylon. The model has two square indentations on the fuselage in the correct place for a fuselage sidewinder pair but no pylon or sidewinders also the fuel probe would go nicely on my F-104C.

Regards Paul

Re: Sky Guardians F-104?

somebody must have realised the model was wrong after the publicity and box art had already been produced

I know but I would have liked the fuselage hardpoints and the sidewinders ...........which are in every photograph of the model on retail sites and WW site..I guess I will pass on WW from now on..............
