About product

Wheels for the F-104A and F-104C Starfighter in the early configuration — 1:48, Armory

A set of cast wheels with weighted tires for 1:48 models of the F-104 Starfighter fighter in the A and C versions, scale 1:48. The manufacturer states a choice of nose wheels for the set, so it covers several production states. The tires are cast with a realistically bulged lower section; the model then settles onto its landing gear like a real aircraft under its own weight. This is an accessory for a model, not an aircraft model.

The real subject

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is an American fighter built around a single aim — to climb and fly as fast as possible. It is characterized by a very thin wing of small span and a slender fuselage, thanks to which it reached twice the speed of sound. The F-104A was the first production version and served the US Air Force as an interceptor, while the F-104C served as a tactical fighter-bomber. The small wing brought high landing speeds, so the landing gear and the tires were heavily stressed on this type and their configuration changed during production.

Building and painting tips

  • Wash the castings in warm soapy water; mold release residue would stop the paint from holding.
  • Cut the casting block off with a saw and level the contact surface so that the model stands straight.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); liquid cement for plastic has no effect here.
  • Paint the wheel rim and the tire separately and mask the transition with masking tape or masking fluid.

Who the set is for

  • Builders who want to replace the plastic kit wheels with a more accurate casting.
  • Modelers focused on landing gear detail and on the final stance of the model.
  • More experienced modelers who have already worked with resin.

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The nose wheel configuration changed on the Starfighter during production. According to the manufacturer the set offers several variants, so you pick the one that matches the machine in your reference photographs.

The manufacturer specifies this set for the early configuration of the A and C versions. For the F-104G it has a separate set, so swapping them is not recommended here.

It is not. The set contains resin wheels that replace the plastic parts. The aircraft itself has to be built from a kit.
