Preowned, Resealed, Mint inside, Box worn

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was developed by the Skunk Works after Korean War pilots asked for a smaller, simpler fighter to take on the MiG-15, and Lockheed took the unusual step of giving it short, straight wings instead of a swept design. Armed with an M61 Vulcan Gatling gun and AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles, it served with the USAF from 1958 to 1969, including in Vietnam, while 140 F-104Gs were built under contract by Canadair and the type went on to a long career with Canadian forces. Revell issued this 1/48 kit in 2013 with Canadian and USAF markings.
