Hasegawa 1/72 F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter: Heritage in Miniature

The Hasegawa 1/72 F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter model kit presents a compact, accurate take on a notable Cold War interceptor. Known for its streamlined fuselage and high speed, the Starfighter served with several nations including Japan and Canada. This kit reproduces the characteristic elements of the F-104J and CF-104 for those interested in historical military modelling.

Technical Background

Developed by Lockheed, the F-104 gained recognition for its performance and distinctive design. It formed part of key defence strategies across multiple air services. The Hasegawa tooling renders the aircrafts external form and panel definition to support a convincing scale finish.

Constructing and Displaying the Model

Builders will find scope for careful assembly and finishing at 1/72 scale, with opportunities to enhance cockpit and external details. The finished model makes a neat display item on its own or as part of a period collection, illustrating the Starfighters engineering approach.
