The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was the first mass-produced aircraft to exceed twice the speed of sound. Known as "the missile with a man inside" for its distinctive streamlined silhouette and razor-sharp wings, this legendary fighter became one of the most widespread combat aircraft in the world despite its notoriously challenging flight characteristics. This COBI model recreates a German Starfighter from JaboG 33 Squadron, licensed by the Deutsches Marinemuseum, capturing every detail from its iconic paint scheme to its six-barrel 20 mm Vulcan cannon.
