The Lockheed Martin F-104 Starfighter stands as a legendary figure in aviation history, recognized for its distinctive design and long service life. Introduced in the late 1950s, it served as a key supersonic interceptor for the USAF, later becoming integral to NATO air forces. The F-104A variant was initially deployed against Soviet bombers, while the F-104C took on fighter-bomber roles during the Vietnam War. This Italeri 1359S model kit offers hobbyists a chance to recreate the Starfighter's groundbreaking design, featuring thin, trapezoidal wings and a powerful General Electric J-79 turbojet engine.
