Product Description:

The Hasegawa 1/72 scale F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter model represents a pivotal aircraft in Japan's aviation history. Developed as a supersonic interceptor, the F-104 boasted a compact design and powerful engine, capable of achieving speeds up to Mach 2.

Originally designed for the U.S. Air Force, the F-104 faced challenges due to its small size and inability to accommodate advanced avionics. Despite this, it found adoption by various NATO countries including Japan's JASDF as the F-104J and CF-104 versions.

This model kit allows enthusiasts to recreate the sleek lines and distinctive features of the F-104, including its single-seat cockpit, high-speed capabilities, and operational history with various international air forces.
