This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.
The development of the F-104 Starfighter was launched by the Lockheed company at the very beginning of the '50s, inspired by Korean War experience. The prototype of the new aircraft made its maiden flight on February 17, 1956. The USAF accepted the F-104 in 1958 and flew it until 1969. Starfighters fought in the Vietnam War as well. USAF service was followed up by service within National Guard units.
NATO countries flew Starfighters of various versions. The F-104A was in USAF service from 1958 through to 1960, and then flown by ANG until 1963 when they were recalled by the USAF Air Defense Command for the 319th and 331st Fighter Interceptor Squadrons. Some were purchased by Jordanian, Pakistani, and Taiwanese armed forces.
This kit contains parts molded in grey and clear plastic. Also includes resin parts, Eduard Brassin photo-etched seats and other detail parts, cartograf printed decals for 5 NATO markings, and masking stickers.
