Build the legendary Lockheed F-104 Starfighter fighter jet in 1:48 scale – an iconic Luftwaffe aircraft nicknamed “a rocket with a pilot inside”. The set offers 428 pieces, movable parts, printed markings instead of stickers and a display stand with a nameplate for an impressive presentation.
The COBI building set brings a detailed model of the F-104G version used by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). The template is based on an aircraft from the 33rd fighter-bomber squadron JaboG based in Büchel, which is now on display as a museum exhibit at the Deutsches Marinemuseum.
The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter went down in history as the first mass-produced fighter aircraft capable of exceeding Mach 2. At the same time, it was a machine full of contradictions – technologically extraordinary, but demanding to fly, and in Germany also associated with controversy. This set is therefore a great choice for collectors and military history fans who want to combine building with learning the stories of the Cold War.
