The CMK Q48381 F-104C/G/J Wheels Early type 1/48 set is a high-quality wheel set dedicated to F-104C/G/J Starfighter aircraft in 1/48 scale, made by the renowned Czech manufacturer CMK. Created from excellent quality resin, the set faithfully reproduces the details of both the tire tread and the rim, standing out with a highly realistic appearance compared to the standard items offered by model manufacturers. This product is intended for Kinetic models, which, although they come with their own wheel set, lag behind in terms of detail and are made in two halves, making precise finishing and masking of the joining lines more difficult.

Material: High-quality resin, which allows for sharp detailing on the tire surface and rim. The wheels are supplied as separate, one-piece parts, ready for assembly without complicated building.

Scale: 1/48 – perfect for the popular Kinetic F-104 fighter models.
Intended for: USA, West Germany, Italy, Japan, and many other NATO countries operating late versions of the Starfighter.

Aircraft history: The F-104 Starfighter is one of the most famous NATO jet aircraft of the Cold War era. G and J variants were widely operated from the early 1960s by air forces of many countries, including for NATO border patrol, interception missions, and fighter pilot training. The aircraft was used in Western Europe, Asian countries, and Canada, forming the backbone of interceptor aviation almost until the 1980s.
