F-104G Starfighter Jet – Historical Background

The Lockheed F-104G Starfighter was one of the most important supersonic fighters of the Cold War era. The G version of this aircraft was widely used by the air forces of many NATO countries – including Germany (Bundesluftwaffe), Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Canada. The F-104G served mainly between 1960-1985, becoming a symbol of Western air power. This aircraft participated in daily flight operations, pilot training, and air defense, and was also used for reconnaissance purposes. Despite a controversial reputation due to its demanding flight characteristics, the F-104G went down in history as one of the most recognizable fighters of the second half of the 20th century.

Features and advantages of Eduard EX665:

• TFace masks are an innovative solution that allows for precise reproduction of both the outer and inner sides of the canopy. This ensures that painting the transparent cockpit parts of the F-104G achieves the highest quality and realistic results.
• Eduard's kabuki film guarantees precise masking of even the most complex shapes, while also protecting the model's surface from damage and leaving no adhesive residue after removal.
• The masks fit perfectly with Kinetic's 1/48 F-104G model sprues, making the painting process faster and easier for both beginner and advanced modelers.
• The product does not require specialized tools or experience with advanced modeling techniques—a single painting session is enough to achieve perfect, sharp lines separating the individual canopy colors.

Recommendation and difficulty level:

The Eduard EX665 F-104G TFace masks are recommended for all modelers who wish to achieve a professional effect when painting the cockpit and canopy of the F-104G Kinetic model in 1/48 scale. Using this accessory shortens the preparation and masking time for clear parts while minimizing the risk of errors. Difficulty level: 1/5 – the product is also perfect for beginner modelers.
