When the prototype XF-104 made its first flight in February 1954, it was nicknamed the "missile with a man on board." In May 1958, it recorded the world's highest speed of 2,259 km/h, attracting attention as the fastest fighter in the world at the time. In 1959, Japan decided to domestically produce the F-104 as a successor to the aging F-86 Sabre. This was the F-104J, and the first Japanese version of the Starfighter was assembled using parts from the F-104G. 29 aircraft were subsequently knocked down and produced with parts supplied by Lockheed, and made their first flight on May 8, 1962. Since then, they have been produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In addition to this, 20 two-seater trainer aircraft, the F-104DJ, were imported from the United States. In Japan, the possession of offensive weapons is prohibited by the Constitution, so the F-104J was equipped with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and fuel tanks under the wings and used as an interceptor fighter. The engines and armaments were also domestically produced, with the J-79 engine produced by Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries and the JM-61 Vulcan cannon produced by Nittoku Metal Industries. A total of 210 F-104J Starfighters were produced, and they served in Japan's air defense missions until the mid-1980s. Some of the aircraft stored in Gifu were modified for radio control and flew. *This product is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting. *Additional adhesives, tools, paints, etc. are required for assembly and painting. *"Plastic model" is a registered trademark owned by the Japan Plastic Model Industrial Cooperative.
