In-depth look at the Italeri 1/32 F-104 Starfighter G/S RF kit

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter stands out for its narrow fuselage and tiny wings, traits that helped it reach very high speeds after its first flights in the late 1950s. Its design provided excellent speed and climb performance while demanding precise handling from pilots.

The F-104G was a common licensed production variant used widely in Europe during the 1960s, armed with a 20mm Vulcan cannon and able to carry missiles or extra tanks. Reconnaissance adaptations equipped it with dedicated pods for surveillance missions.

What this Italeri kit delivers

The Italeri 1/32 F-104 Starfighter G/S RF kit emphasises authentic surface and interior detail. It includes fine engraved panel lines, a full cockpit, avionics bay and gun bay with the complete M-61 Vulcan assembly. Model makers can pose the air brakes open or closed and fit the supplied photoetched parts for sharper surface detail. The kit contains 325 components and decals to represent eight different aircraft.

Yes, the cockpit includes detailed panels and seating that look convincing at display distance; painting and fine washes will enhance the instrument detail further.
The two decal sheets cover eight versions typical of NATO operators. With careful application and sealing, they reproduce authentic markings and insignia.
Bend photoetched parts on a flat block and use cyanoacrylate adhesive or special photoetch glue. Take care when sanding attachment points and handle parts with fine tweezers to avoid distortion.
Yes, the internal detail in the avionics and gun bay supports open-panel display. Consider using small locating pins or magnets to make panels removable for inspection.
