Quinta Studio QD48224 F-104S/ASA-M 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (Kinetic) 1/48

Quinta Studio QD48224 F-104S/ASA-M 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (Kinetic) 1/48 is an innovative detail set for modelers designed for the detailed finishing of the cockpit interior of the Lockheed F-104S/ASA-M Starfighter in 1/48 scale. The set has been created especially with Kinetic models in mind, but it is also recommended as compatible with Hasegawa kits. This unique solution by Quinta Studio is intended for all aircraft modelers who value realism and high-quality finish on their models.

Historical information

The Lockheed F-104S/ASA-M aircraft was an Italian modernized version of the iconic F-104 Starfighter interceptor, used by the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) during the Cold War and in the 1980s and 1990s. The F-104S variant was equipped with modern avionics, and the later ASA-M upgrade further modernized the navigation and combat systems. These aircraft served mainly as the country’s air defense, taking part in numerous patrol missions and NATO exercises until 2004.
