A Missile With a Man in It
The F-104 was designed to achieve maximum speed and climb rate. While its extremely thin and short wings reduced low-speed maneuverability, they made it a fantastic interceptor capable of Mach 2 flight. The aircraft served not only in the US Air Force and NASA but also became the backbone of many European NATO air forces, particularly the German Luftwaffe, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
A Colorful Palette for Collectors
Our selection will delight any Cold War enthusiast. You will find models of classic F-104G/J/S fighter versions, two-seat TF-104G trainers, and RF-104G reconnaissance variants. Choose from a variety of attractive liveries—from elegant NASA test center aircraft to classic camouflages of the Luftwaffe, Norwegian or Japanese (JASDF) forces, and even exclusive "Tiger Meet" editions.
