Academy 12443 - 1/72 F-104G Starfighter: Compact Scale Replica

Academy offers the F-104G Starfighter in 1/72 scale, delivering a compact kit that reflects the jet's needle-like fuselage. Model makers will appreciate the effort taken to reproduce the aircraft's slim wings and tailplane proportions.

Historical Significance and Modelling Value

The F-104G played several roles in the 1960s and later, from interception to reconnaissance, and is recognised for its distinctive profile. Building this kit allows enthusiasts to capture a piece of postwar aviation history in miniature form.

Assembly Experience and Presentation Ideas

The build is best tackled by someone with steady hands, as the finely detailed components fit together to form a realistic airframe. After painting and weathering, the completed model makes an effective display subject, especially on compact bases or within hangar dioramas.
