Interested in your take on this.

Having done something extremely similar I am keen to see how this one turns out.

This was so close to a real world thing as well. But at least the Marineflieger purchasing people went for that other purpose designed, low level Maritime Strike aircraft, the F104 Starfighter  :o

A little progress. had to remove the decals from the nose as they wouldn't settle down, awaiting replacements. On its wheels now, and going to have 2 x Martel radar missiles under the wings and 4 x 1000lb bombs in the bomb bay.

Great job! And more believable than a MFG Starfighter!

Indeed! F-104 Starfighter and maritime strike are not things that really go together.

Oh I don't know.  A F-104 screaming in low and fast with a pair of AS.34 Kormorans would ruin someone's day I am sure.
