552509 1/32 TF-104G
The F-104 Starfighter is one of the most famous fighters in the
history of aviation and also one with the longest operational life: its
history began at the end of the 50s and ended, for some air forces, in
mid 2000s. From its unique aerodynamic design, characterized by slender
fuselage and very little wing surface, was developed the combat-capable
two-seat advanced trainer version TF-104. Among the most widespread
version, the TF-104G, was a fundamental training
step for all the combat pilots before to seat in the F-104G or F-104S
single-seat fighter version cockpits. Compared to the single-seat, the
TF-104G didn’t have the 20 mm gun and the centerline pylon but, thanks
to the J79 turbojet engine, the pilot and the trainer
could have the same flight experience and performance of the fighter
version. A lot of N.A.T.O. air forces used the TF-104G to perform
training duties as United States, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Spain,
Germany and Italy.
