Hobby Master HA1043 1:72 Lockheed F-104G Starfighter JA+240 JG 71 1965


Preowned - Mint (10/10)

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.
