Hobby Master Lockheed F-104DJ Starfighter 207 Sqn., JASDF "26-5001" DieCast Model1:72 Scale Stand Included Interchangeable Undercarriage Weapon Loads The Lockheed F-104J was the Japanese Starfighter with the ?J? standing for Japan. The first F-104Js were just re-assembled ?G? versions and first flew in March 8, 1962. Because the Japanese constitution forbid offensive weapons the F-104J was set up purely as an interceptor. The Japanese referred to the Starfighter as ?Eikou (Glory) while other countries called it the ?Widow Maker?. Instead of a 20mm cannon the early variants had an additional fuel tank and could carry four Sidewinder missiles or drop tanks but no bombs. The Japanese Air Self Defense Force operated 210 F-104Js and 20 F-104DJs. The DJ was the two-seater version of the J. The DJ electronics and other systems were compatible with the single-seat J. The F-104 entered service with the JASDF in October 1966. These aircraft were used solely for interceptor roles. The last JASDF F-104 was retired in March 1986. Some of the retired aircraft were transferred to Taiwan. F-104DJ 26-5001 was c/n 583B-5401, the first aircraft built of this variant.Described as having the ability to produce the world s best military die-cast models , Hobby Master is a Hong Kong based company which has been producing models since 2003.
