Because of its physical appearance and performance the F-104 has often been called the missile with a man in it. The design was a product of the Korean War and was unique in several respects. The encounters with the MiG-15 in Korea caused a strong outcry among Air Force fighter pilots for a cheap lightweight maneuverable high-performance fighter to confront future Soviet fighters. The result was the F-104 a fighter that overemphasized rate of climb and brute speed. This amazing replica has been brought to life by our master craftsmen.
