In service around the world for nearly fifty years, the F-104 Starfighter &#8212 introduced in 1958 &#8212 was a single-engine interceptor originally used by the United States Air Force. The Starfighter saw service during the Vietnam War, and, though it saw very little aerial combat action, it successfully deterred MiG interceptors. The aircraft did, however, have a poor safety record and many aviators &#8212 famously including legendary pilot Erich Hartmann &#8212 refused to fly it. The F-104 was retired in 2004.
A Hobby Master reproduction of a TF-104G &#8212 a two-seat trainer variant &#8212 serving with the Turkish Air Force, this 1/72 scale, die cast model features engraved panel lines, glazed opening canopies, well-equipped cockpits, two removable crew figures, a pitot tube, a detailed engine nozzle, optional-position landing gear, authentic markings, and a metal display stand. Measures approximately 9¼” long with a 3¾” wingspan.
