The F-104 Starfighter is a legendary fighter aircraft developed by the American company Lockheed, and was extensively used by many NATO countries and Japan. The F-104C was primarily operated by the USAF during the Cold War (1960s), while the F-104G and F-104J versions served, among others, in Germany, Italy, and Japan during the 1960s and 1970s. These aircraft participated in reconnaissance, interception, and training operations across various countries and military theaters.

The CMK Q48380 set is made from high-grade resin using precision casting technology. Unlike factory plastic wheels, the resin components are presented as solid single parts, which eliminates unsightly seam lines and facilitates assembly. Furthermore, the tread and hub details are rendered with outstanding precision – satisfying even the most demanding modelers who care about historical accuracy.

This product is intended to complement and enhance 1/48 scale models and falls under the "resin modeling accessories" category. It is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers seeking the highest quality of detail reproduction and authenticity in their miniatures. The assembly difficulty level is estimated at 2/5.

By choosing the CMK Q48380 set for your model, you'll achieve a realistic appearance of the early versions of F-104 wheels, significantly improving the aesthetic value of your replica. This is an exceptional product that allows your model to stand out, highlighting the modeler's passion and craftsmanship.
