Historical Description of the F-104 Starfighter

The F-104 Starfighter is one of the most recognizable supersonic fighter jets of the Cold War era. Designed by Lockheed and introduced into service with the United States Air Force in 1958, it was used by many NATO countries. It was known for its innovative, slender silhouette, exceptional speed, and high-altitude capability. The F-104 participated in both training and combat operations across Europe, Asia, and North America throughout the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

Product Features and Recommendations

Master AM-144-014 is the ideal choice for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to make their F-104 Starfighter model stand out by adding a realistic, slim pitot tube. Assembly of the part is simple (difficulty level 2/5), but requires precision – the end result significantly enhances the finish quality of the cockpit and aircraft nose. The metal construction provides unparalleled resistance to damage compared to plastic parts from the base kit.

We highly recommend this detail to all 1:144 scale jet aircraft enthusiasts, especially those focusing on F-104 Starfighter models from the Cold War era and who pay attention to the realism of their collections.
