It looks like an early F-104 but the strakes aren't right. RR

It may look like an early F-104, it has fuselage strakes, and, in fact the whole tail is not F-104.

Is it a wing-mounted podded engine?

Not Sabre and not wing-mounted.

Sabre is kind of close but via a very long detour. Beware of getting misled!

I was thinking Fiat G.91 but that doesn't fit with the clues?

Well, let's put it this way. This challenge has strakes, but your thought process would be better off if you started with no strakes.

It is not the Fury nor Fiat.

Well, what should I say?

Neither is technically correct, but one would be acceptable if you explain the strekes (now they step in into your process ).

Its the lack of airbrakes that stumped me! Maybe a Polish or Czech variant? Or even Chinese?

Must go.......

Anyone else, or shall I call it?

OK. Very good. Lack of air brakes is true, and for a very good reason.

This is Mikoyan KS-1 (Nato AS-1 Kennel) cruising missile, which is built on the Mig-15 fuselage. Hence strekes and no speed brakes.

Very many close encounters between Mig-15 and F-86 Sabre years back, they tell me.

Open House.

Here we go:



I couldn't find one of the engine on the a/c, but if you need the help, I'll try and dig one up!

cheers,
Jake.

Correct, Reg. It is the BMW 003. Before I hand over control, I'd like the aircraft type

cheers,
Jake.

Me-262-V1 . . . .

If not that, it could be one certain Messerschmitt Bf 110, but there are pictures of it AFAIR.
