Historical Information:

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was an American supersonic fighter designed in the 1950s and widely used by NATO countries (United States, West Germany, Italy, Canada, and others). The late versions of the F-104, which featured modernized landing gear wheels, served mainly during the Cold War (1960s–1980s). These aircraft took part in numerous maneuvers and air patrols, forming the basis of air defense for many countries.

Advantages of the Eduard 648181 set:

• Accurate reproduction of tread and rim details characteristic of the late F-104 wheel version
• Ready-to-use resin parts provide sharp, realistic details unattainable in plastic kits
• Painting masks simplify wheel painting, eliminating the need for manual masking
• Perfect fit for Hasegawa models ensures easy installation without modification

Who do we recommend it for?

The set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modellers seeking the highest level of realism. The product is particularly recommended for those planning to complete an accurate F-104 model with a realistic finish as well as for fans of Cold War era aviation. The assembly difficulty is rated as 2 on a scale of 1–5; installation is intuitive and does not require advanced modelling skills, but for best results, precise painting and careful handling of resin are suggested.
