Models * Italeri 1/72 F104 A/C Starfighter - ITA 01234 - Models
The F-104 Starfighter was conceived in the mid-50s as a supersonic interceptor for US air forces, which feared attack by heavy Soviet bombers over the US itself. The Starfighter's speed and climb performance was exceptional (it was the first plane to exceed Mach 2) and its development produced what was, back then, top secret cutting-edge technology that was to have a lasting influence on the aeronautics industry. The F-104's operational career was brief as it was soon made obsolete by more advanced (F-102 and F-106) planes; nevertheless, later versions were employed extensively by America's allies in Europe and elsewhere. Model length 9.1 inches. Glue and paint are required for assembly, and are sold separately.
