Italeri 1359S 1/72 F-104 Starfighter Modeller Kit  [IT-1359S]

F-104 Starfighter Overview for Scale Modellers

The Lockheed Martin F-104 Starfighter is a standout in Cold War aviation, known for its slim fuselage and very thin trapezoidal wings. First entering service in the late 1950s, it served as a high speed interceptor with the USAF and later saw service across NATO forces. Early F-104A examples were deployed to counter bomber threats while F-104C aircraft carried out fighter-bomber missions during Vietnam era operations. The Italeri 1359S model kit lets modellers recreate the Starfighter silhouette, highlighting the narrow wings and the General Electric J-79 turbojet engine profile.
