1/48 Hasegawa 09365 F-104G Starfighter kit in Taiwan Air Force markings  [HA-09365]

Brief: Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G showing Taiwan Air Force colours

This 1/48 scale plastic model represents the F-104G Starfighter in Taiwan Air Force markings and is geared toward builders who prioritise surface accuracy and realistic presentation.

The Lockheed F-104 was produced as a compact supersonic interceptor with a single engine and single-seat layout, introduced in the 1950s to meet fast-climbing, high-speed interception requirements. The G variant was adapted for broader NATO use, featuring structural strengthening and avionics updates for multiple roles. Several international operators acquired the type during the Cold War, including air defence squadrons in East Asia.

At 1/48 scale, the kit aims to replicate the aircraft's external form with clear panel lines and defined control surfaces. Construction follows conventional injection-moulded assembly steps, and the kit is aimed at builders seeking external accuracy for display models. Careful seam treatment and painting will enhance the finished model.

A 1/48 scale F-104G Starfighter kit suitable as a display subject, providing scope for refined painting and historically themed markings.
