took me some time to locate my research material, hence this delayed
contribution.
I too have collected material about this aircraft for years. My interest was
awakened last year when I heard that two scale prototypes have turned up, at
the Berlin-Gatow Luftwaffe Museum and the F-104 Museum in Niederalteich. I
found one rather obscure source of information, that contained two interesting
drawings. The source is 'RCS Determination for DLR Stealth Design F7',
published in 'Non-Cooperative Air Target Identification Using Radar, Meeting
Proceedings', NATO RTO (formerly AGARD I believe). Compared to the Flug Revue
and Jane's drawings, it has three extra facets on each side of the rear
fuselage:

The paper is listed here on the CV-page of one of the authors:

If you search for 'DLR F7' you will find the following pages:

(Google found reference tothe F7 design in this PDF, which you can only be downloaded by subscribers or
by paying for it.)
So much for my findings!
