Hasegawa 1/72 F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter: Classic Jet Recreated

The Hasegawa 1/72 F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter kit reproduces the slender silhouette of this classic Cold War aircraft. Celebrated for its speed and striking lines, the Starfighter operated with several national air forces, including Japan and Canada. This kit emphasises the defining features of the F-104J and CF-104 variants for a faithful small-scale model.

Design Highlights

Built originally by Lockheed, the F-104 stood out for its high performance and unconventional layout. It served a strategic role across various air forces during its service life. The Hasegawa parts capture the aircrafts contours and panel cues to aid accurate finishing.

Building and Presentation

Model builders will appreciate the level of detail and the manageable challenge this 1/72 kit presents. The scale is compact but allows for detailing work on cockpit and exterior. Finished models display well on a plinth or within a themed collection, reflecting the aircrafts engineering roots.
