Hasegawa 09365 - 1/48 F-104G Starfighter plastic model kit  [HA-09365]

Overview: Hasegawa F-104G 1/48 in Taiwan Air Force colours

This 1/48 scale plastic kit portrays the F-104G Starfighter in Taiwan Air Force livery and is intended for experienced modellers who focus on external surface fidelity and display-quality finishing.

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was a single-engine, single-seat supersonic interceptor first developed in the 1950s to meet high-speed, high-altitude interception roles. The F-104G variant denotes a NATO-oriented, multi-role production version with reinforced structure and updated avionics for broader mission flexibility. The type was exported to several operators during the Cold War period, including air defence units in East Asia.

The kit reproduces the aircraft's external shape at 1/48 scale with careful attention to panel lines and control-surface outlines. Assembly follows standard injection-moulded plastic kit practice and is suited to builders concerned with accurate external geometry and realistic finishing. Proper surface preparation, seam filling, and paint techniques are recommended to achieve display-grade results.
