Product Description

The F-104J fighter was selected as the successor to the F-86F, which supported the Japan Air Self-Defense Force during its early days.
Equipped with a powerful engine in a small, lightweight body, it boasted high stability even at supersonic speeds exceeding Mach 2, earning it the nickname "the last manned fighter jet."
Although it was mainly produced domestically, a total of 210 aircraft were deployed, including imported ones, and they continued to carry out Japan's air defense missions from the 1960s until the F-15J was deployed in 1986.
In the Self-Defense Forces, they were affectionately known as "Eiko" (glory), but nowadays they are more commonly called "Maruyon."
This kit is a completely new design using new molds from 2025.
Just like the real thing, the rear of the aircraft can be removed, allowing it to be displayed with the engine exposed.
The fuselage is divided along the panel lines, while the rear section is molded as a single piece, resulting in a structure that is stress-free and beautifully finished.
