Historical information

The F-104 Starfighter is one of the most recognizable supersonic fighters of the second half of the 20th century, designed by Lockheed in the United States. The aircraft was widely used by the air forces of many NATO countries, including Germany, Italy, Canada, Belgium, and Japan. Versions with the late-type exhaust nozzle were mainly in service during the Cold War period—from the 1960s until the early 21st century—especially as interceptor fighters serving in Western Europe. The F-104's advanced technological solutions required precise engine mechanisms, and an accurately depicted exhaust nozzle plays a key role in the model’s realism.
