Armory Models AW32302 F-104A/C Starfighter wheels, w/ optional nose wheels, weighted 1/32 – resin wheel set for the F-104A/C in 1:32 scale

Armory Models AW32302 is a high-quality set of resin wheels dedicated to the F-104A/C Starfighter fighter aircraft model in 1:32 scale. The set includes both the main landing gear wheels and optional nose wheels. A distinguishing feature of this product is the precise imitation of the aircraft's weight—so-called “weighted wheels”—which provides a realistic effect of the tires 'sagging' under the weight of the aircraft. The product is intended for both advanced and intermediate modelers for whom the realism of details is crucial.

Historical information about the F-104A/C Starfighter

The F-104 Starfighter was an American supersonic fighter designed by Lockheed. The A and C variants entered service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in the mid-1950s and were used mainly during the Cold War era. Its service spanned from 1958 through the early 1970s, taking part in both interception and reconnaissance missions. The aircraft was also exported to many NATO countries, including Germany, Italy, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, and others. The F-104 was characterized by a narrow fuselage and small, thin wings, which earned it the nickname "missile with a man in it."
