Italeri 2514 - 1/32 F-104 Starfighter G/S RF Upgraded Edition Model Kit - Classic Interceptor Replica  [IT-2514S]

Detailed review of the Italeri 1/32 F-104 Starfighter G/S RF kit

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is a standout in jet design history, famous for its slim fuselage and small, sharp wings. First flown in the late 1950s, it served many air arms for decades thanks to its speed and simple lines, though its handling demanded respect from pilots.

The F-104G was a widely produced service variant across NATO nations in the 1960s, adaptable with a 20mm Vulcan cannon and options for missiles or auxiliary tanks. Reconnaissance kits like the Orpheus pod extended its operational roles beyond interception.

Why builders favour this Italeri release

The Italeri 1/32 F-104 Starfighter G/S RF kit focuses on accurate surface detail and interior assemblies. It features fine engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, avionics bay and gun bay with the complete M-61 Vulcan assembly. Builders can model air brakes open or closed and add realism with the included photoetched parts. With 325 pieces and decal options for eight markings, the kit suits experienced modellers seeking a precise static display subject.
