The aircraft, dubbed the \"Flying Arrow\" for its distinctive shape, built its reputation thanks to its incredible speed and performance, being one of the first aircraft to reach speeds above Mach 2. The F-104G was used primarily by West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, Norway, as well as Spain, Greece, and Turkey, mainly between 1960 and 1985 in the roles of interceptor and fighter-bomber. It took part in many NATO exercises and served to protect airspace during the tense periods of the Cold War.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Academy\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAccurately reproduced panels, landing gear, and cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes decals for several national versions of the F-104G (e.g. Luftwaffe, Italian Air Force)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eParts maintain geometric and detail accuracy true to the original\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKit does not include glue or paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePerfect for customization and weathering\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClear assembly instructions – modeler friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eAcademy 12443 F-104G Starfighter 1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e model belongs to the category of \u003cstrong\u003eplastic model kits\u003c\/strong\u003e.
