The Italeri TF-104G AMI (HC-2509) is a highly detailed plastic model kit of the two-seat trainer variant of the iconic Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. Featuring fully upgraded moulds and a comprehensive parts count, it brings out the distinctive lines and technical detail of this classic NATO trainer.
Developed from the Starfighter’s unique, slender airframe, the TF-104G served as a critical training platform for pilots transitioning to the F-104G and F-104S. Retaining the General Electric J79’s performance but without the 20 mm gun and centreline pylon, it provided similar flight characteristics to frontline fighter versions. The TF-104G was employed by several NATO air arms, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Turkey, Germany and Italy.

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is one of the most famous fighters in the history of aviation and also one with the longest operational life: its history began at the end of the 50s and ended, for some air forces, in mid 2000s. From its unique aerodynamic design, characterized by slender fuselage and very little wing surface, was developed the combat-capable two-seat advanced trainer version TF-104. Among the most widespread version, the TF-104G, produced by Lockheed was a fundamental training step for all the combat pilots before to seat in the F-104G or F-104S single-seat fighter version cockpits. Compared to the single-seat, the TF-104G didn’t have the 20 mm gun and the centerline pylon but, thanks to the General Electric J79 turbojet engine, the pilot and the trainer could have the same flight experience and performance of the fighter version. A lot of N.A.T.O. air forces used the TF-104G to perform training duties as Belgium, Holland, Norway, Spain, Turkey, Germany and Italy.
