Aires 2197 F-104G/S Starfighter cockpit set is a high-quality upgrade set designed to enhance a plastic model of the F-104G/S Starfighter aircraft in 1/32 scale, dedicated to Italeri kits. This product is intended for experienced modelers who expect an exceptional level of realism and detail when recreating the cockpit of the famous Lockheed F-104 Starfighter jet fighter.

The F-104G/S Starfighter was widely used by numerous NATO air forces, including, among others:

• West Germany
• Italy
• Belgium
• The Netherlands
• Norway
• Turkey
• Denmark

The Starfighter mainly served during the Cold War era, from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. It was extensively used for border patrols, reconnaissance missions, and as an interceptor fighter. The Aires set represents the cockpit version fitted with the Martin Baker GQ-7A ejection seat, characteristic of later F-104G/S examples operated by the Italian and German air forces.

This cockpit is made from the highest quality resin, which allows for very accurate reproduction of instrument panels, sidewalls, levers, control pedals, as well as the highly detailed M.B. GQ-7A ejection seat. The set also includes photo-etched metal parts, such as harnesses and small details, enhancing the realism of the model and making the cockpit extremely faithful to the original.
