Toys and Models CF104TE F-104C Starfighter, 1/32 scale model

The F-104 Starfighter is a single-engine, high-performance, supersonic interceptor aircraft originally developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) by Lockheed. In order to achieve the desired performance, Lockheed chose a minimalist approach: a design that would achieve high performance by wrapping the lightest, most aerodynamically efficient airframe possible around a single powerful engine. The F-104 served with the USAF from 1958 until 1969 and saw service during the Vietnam War. They were also used by Air National Guard units until it was phased out in 1975. In addition, NASA flew a small mixed fleet of F-104 types in supersonic flight tests and spaceflight programs until they were retired in 1994. This handcrafted model is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail and makes a great gift for any veteran, aviation enthusiast or history buff.

The distinctive F-104 is depicted here in its C variant, and finished in U.S. Air Force colors. Superb attention to detail and quality construction make this model a must have for any collector or enthusiast.
