Historical Information

The F-104C Starfighter was an American single-seat interceptor fighter aircraft that played a significant role during the Cold War. Developed in the 1950s by Lockheed, this aircraft was renowned for its revolutionary design and record-breaking speed. It served with the USAF, participating, among others, in operations conducted in Vietnam. Its slender silhouette and unique landing gear required modelers to reproduce the wheels with considerable accuracy—which is why products like the CMK Q48383 are highly appreciated by enthusiasts of faithful scale modeling.
