The F-104S version was specifically modernized for Italy, equipped with, among other things, improved missile armament. Starfighters served actively with the air forces of Italy and West Germany throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, primarily performing interception, escort, and reconnaissance missions, and standing as one of the backbones of NATO during the Cold War.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/72 – enables retention of precise proportions and details of the original while keeping the finished model compact in size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating countries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy, West Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService period:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold War (1960s–1980s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality plastic; the product does not contain metal or resin parts—all pieces are made from precisely molded plastic sprues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSprue elements are intricately replicated: recessed panel lines, realistic cockpit, landing gear, and engine nozzle details.
