request: pictures of KLu F-27 C-8 in "Flipper" configuration

Post by Polleke_NL »

Does anyone here happen to have pictures of the KLu's F-27 regi C-8, nicknamed "Flipper" when it flew equipped with the nosecone of an F-104G?
I'm working on a modelling project of this particular aircraft but there is extremely little info and only very very few pictures (so far I found one, a article from a magazine (Onze Luchtmacht?)) available on the net...

Any help would be very highly appreciated, TIA!

Thanks Jurien,

Funny/interesting to see that on the picture of the article, the anti glare panel appears to run smoothly in line with the aircraft's own markings anti glare panel, whereas on the picture you linked to the F-104's nose cone still appears to have the original F-104's anti glare panel

Thanks Janneman, did have that one already but it's small and hardly a pcture so not really something to work with.... Most important info I need is the length of the F-104G nose cone that was used which is something I could guess, but not really determine from the pictures available so far..

There is also a picture in the book "Vlucht door de tijd" about 75 years of KLu history. ( indeed 25 years in my bookshelf already....)
