The Lockheed F-104 STARFIGHTER kit is a unique opportunity to build an accurately reproduced model of the aircraft that served as cover for other aircraft and an effective deterrent to MiG fighters. The F-104 was the first mass-produced aircraft to achieve speeds more than double the sound barrier. It was licensed to six NATO countries and used by 14 different air forces around the world. The set is a real treat for aviation fans - young and old. Licensed by Lockheed Martin, the model boasts a high level of detail and accurately reproduces the shape and colour scheme of the original F-104. This F-104 Starfighter model will perfectly complement your HISTORICAL COLLECTION - VIETNAM WAR.

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) F-104 Starfighter fighters played a vital role in air operations. Their primary mission was to escort Lockheed EC-121D Warning Star reconnaissance aircraft operating off the coast of North Vietnam. Although the F-104 was notoriously difficult to fly, it proved unrivaled in its role as a cover plane for other aircraft, although it also suffered losses. A total of 14 F-104s were lost in Vietnam for various reasons.
