Model Aircraft Kit

The Kinetic 1/48 USAF F-104A/C Starfighter model kit recreates the sleek, high-performance interceptor that earned the nickname The Missile with a Man in It. Designed by Lockheeds legendary Skunk Works team under Clarence Kelly Johnson, the F-104 set numerous speed and altitude records during the late 1950s and became one of the first U.S. Air Force fighters capable of sustained Mach 2 flight. This detailed kit includes finely recessed panel lines, a well-appointed cockpit, accurate landing gear and wheel wells, and optional parts to build either the F-104A air superiority interceptor or the F-104C fighter-bomber. A selection of external fuel tanks and weapons, along with authentic USAF markings, makes this an excellent choice for Cold War aviation enthusiasts looking to add one of Americas most iconic Century Series fighters to their collection.
