Hasegawa 1/72 F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter: Scale Detail for Modellers

The Hasegawa 1/72 F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter kit captures the slim, high speed profile of this Cold War era fighter. Noted for its sleek lines, the Starfighter served in several air arms including Japan and Canada. The kit highlights the specific traits of the F-104J and CF-104 types, making it a neat project for modellers interested in accurate military subjects.

The Starfighter in Service

Originally developed by Lockheed, the F-104 made its name for speed and an innovative approach to aerodynamics. It was an important asset in the defence plans of multiple nations. Hasegawa reproduces the aircrafts external form and panel detail with attention to scale fidelity.

Assembly Tips and Display

Builders will value the tidy parts layout and the chance to add fine detail work. The 1/72 scale keeps the model compact while allowing for cockpit and surface enhancement. Once complete the kit presents well on a shelf or within a larger Cold War display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit is more suited to modellers with some prior experience; small sprue items and tight joints need careful trimming and test fitting.
Decals included typically match the instruction sheet schemes, but many modellers cross check references and may opt for aftermarket decal sheets for additional options.
Use liquid polystyrene cement for seams and fine CA for small detail fixes. Basic tools like a sharp blade, sanding sticks and tweezers will make assembly easier.
