This specialist set, created by the renowned manufacturer Quickboost, contains a precisely replicated resin Pitot tube intended for plastic model kits of the F-104 aircraft.

Historical Information and Intended Use

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is one of the most famous jet fighter aircraft of the Cold War era. It was operated from the 1950s until the early 21st century by more than 15 countries, including the United States, Germany, Italy, and Canada. The F-104 participated in many NATO operations and became a symbol of aerodynamic progress thanks to its slender silhouette and distinctive, extended Pitot tube on the nose. Accurately recreating this detail greatly influences the realism of the scale model.

Advanced Detail Upgrade for the F-104 Model

The Quickboost QB48403 set allows you to replace the simplified plastic Pitot tube included in standard model kits. The carefully replicated resin tube ensures exceptional precision and accurate proportions, which are impossible to achieve when working plastic by hand. The product is made from high-quality polyurethane resin, providing both durability and sharpness of detail. Thanks to this, the model gains an authentic appearance, which is especially important for modelers who care about historical accuracy.
