Historical description: The Lockheed F-104G Starfighter is an interceptor and attack aircraft designed in the United States. The G variant was modified and adapted to suit specific NATO requirements, particularly by German, Italian, and other European air forces. It was famous for its stunning maximum speed of over Mach 2, sleek profile, and innovative aerodynamics. The F-104 was used in combat operations as well as for training purposes. It participated in the Cold War and, in some countries, remained in service until the early 21st century.

The Italeri model stands out thanks to a great number of precisely reproduced details, such as surface ribbing, cockpit, radar, and weapons systems. The parts fit together very well, making assembly relatively straightforward even for less experienced builders. However, due to the large number of parts and the size of the model, it is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers.
