Inside the Italeri 2991 1/12 F-104 G Cockpit - a detailed Starfighter flight deck

The Italeri 1/12 F-104 G Cockpit kit gives a close-up view of one of the most recognisable fighter cockpits in Cold War aviation. The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter earned its reputation for speed and slim aerodynamics, and this scale cockpit reproduces the cramped instrument bay and control layout for hands-on study and display.

Why this cockpit appeals to modellers and collectors

The F-104's cockpit combines compact ergonomics with advanced avionics for its era. Italeri captures that compact complexity, providing parts that reflect the original instrument groups and ejection seat. This makes the kit appealing to both collectors after a museum-quality display and builders looking for a detailed assembly challenge.

Assembly notes and final display tips

The 1/12 scale parts prioritise accuracy, from the seat framing to the instrument bezels. Builders will find painting and careful assembly enhance the realism. Once finished, the cockpit works well as a standalone display or integrated into larger 1/12 Starfighter dioramas.
