The F-104 Starfighter is an American jet fighter used by the United States Air Force as well as numerous NATO member state militaries, including Germany, Italy, Canada, and the Netherlands. The Starfighter was widely operated from the late 1950s until the early 1980s, and one of the characteristic elements of its armament were the weapon stations—pylons—enabling it to carry bombs, fuel tanks, or missiles during combat operations, such as NATO patrols in Western Europe and missions in Cold War conflict zones.

The details are made from high-quality resin, providing each part with crisp shape reproduction, rivets, and subtle engineering panel lines. The set does not include additional photoetched or metal parts, focusing solely on the perfect detailing of the weapon mounting components.
