we are proud to show you the preview of our new incoming 1:32 scale model kit dedicated to the famous two-seat advanced trainer Lockheed TF-104 G Starfighter. Our new scale model kit will be characterised, as our latest production, by the highest level of quality and details. The new scale model (num. 2509)  kit will be available in August  and now we would like to share with you the first pictures of two-seat cabin 3D CAD, some plastic parts, the photo-etched details, the decal sheets and the “boxart”.

The Luftwaffe one was an F-104F, not a TF-104G. I'm not a specialist when it comes to F-104's, but the intakes should be bare metal on that one, not black, since it lacked the heating system. Also, it seems that F-104F's had some sort of patch where the gun would be on the single seater. I don't think the TF-104G had that?

Here she is the gun blanking panel is quite visible:

The F-104F should also have F-104A/C-style wheels. The cockpit differs as well from the TF-104G, enough to be noticable in 1/32nd. 

 

Cheers,
