Eduard FE1050 F-104J 1/48 (dedicated for KINETIC model)

Eduard FE1050 is a precisely crafted set of photo-etched parts designed for detailing the interior of the F-104J Starfighter aircraft in 1/48 scale, specially tailored for the Kinetic model kit. This set is an excellent supplement and enhancement to the capabilities of the base plastic kit, allowing for faithful replication of the cockpit, instrument panels, seat belts, and other key pilot cabin elements, increasing the realism of the finished model.

F-104J Starfighter is a variant of the legendary Lockheed F-104 fighter jet, developed for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). This aircraft was license-produced in Japan by Mitsubishi from the 1960s and served with Japanese armed forces during the Cold War, from 1962 to the early 1980s. The F-104J went down in history as a supersonic interceptor, used among other roles to protect Japan's airspace during times of political tension.

The Eduard FE1050 set’s parts are made from high-quality, thin metal sheet using precise photo-etching technology, ensuring excellent reproduction of all details – much better than what traditional plastic parts can provide. Color printed elements and precisely crafted seat belts and instrument details add a natural, realistic look. Installation requires only basic modeling tools and cyanoacrylate glue.
