Kinetic 48093 1/48 F-104G/S/ASA/M Starfighter Italian Air Force

Model Aircraft Kit

The Kinetic 1/48 F-104G/S/ASA/M Starfighter model kit offers an exceptionally versatile recreation of the Italian Air Force’s long-serving Starfighter variants. Italy was one of the largest and longest operators of the F-104, flying the aircraft from the 1960s until its retirement in 2004. Beginning with the F-104G and later the more capable F-104S, the fleet was progressively upgraded through the ASA (Aggiornamento Sistema d’Arma) and ASA/M modernization programs, which enhanced radar, avionics, and missile capabilities to keep the Starfighter effective well into the modern jet age. This highly detailed kit features finely recessed panel lines, an accurately detailed cockpit, realistic landing gear and wheel wells, and variant-specific parts allowing builders to model multiple Italian Starfighter versions. Includes a selection of external fuel tanks and air-to-air missiles, along with authentic Italian Air Force markings.
