Description

This Lockheed F-104G Starfighter represents Luftwaffe JG 71 Richthofen aircraft JA+240 at Wittmund AB, Germany in 1965. Finished in natural metal with clean West German markings, it captures the sharp early Cold War look of one of NATO’s most recognisable supersonic interceptors.

A striking addition to any post-war Luftwaffe or NATO jet collection, with the Starfighter’s long fuselage and crisp finish giving it real display presence. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy Cold War aircraft linked to specific bases and units.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.

Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.

Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.

Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.

Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.

Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.

Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.

Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.

If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
