The flight performance compared to the previous generation of fighters equipped with radial engines, such as the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi Mc-200, was in fact much better. Manoeuvrable and fast (it was able to reach 600 km h), it was armed, in the early versions, with two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns installed in the nose. Only in later versions were the armaments improved with additional machine-guns installed in the wings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● 100% New Moulds \u003cbr\u003e● Super - detailed cockpit with 3D decals\u003cbr\u003e● Finely detailed engine and nose gun bay\u003cbr\u003e● Detailed landing gears with optional wells covers\u003cbr\u003e● PE parts for engine, flaps, cockpit and overall detailing\u003cbr\u003e● Realistic panel lines and rivets \u003cbr\u003e● Moveable wings and tail ailerons \u003cbr\u003e● Open or closed flaps\u003cbr\u003e● Two types of tail ailerons\u003cbr\u003e● Realistic smoke rings decals with application guide\u003cbr\u003e● PE parts for engine, flaps, cockpit and overall detailing\u003cbr\u003e● Coloured painting and decals guide \u003cbr\u003e● Super decals sheet for 8 versions","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53866871292245,"sku":"2518","price":92.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/2518__20_2810_29.jpg?v=1778416840"},{"product_id":"f-35a-lightning-ii","title":"F-35A LIGHTNING II","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e100% NEW MOULD - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 6 VERSIONS - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ePHOTO ETCHED PARTS -\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCOLOURED INSTRUCTION SHEET AND NEW STICKERS MASKS \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSHEET\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCTOL Version\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e (Conventional Take Off and Landing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was set up to develop a new fifth-generation all-weather multirole combat aircraft able to replace the existing United States and NATO strike-fighters.

To the improved version, F-104C, was assigned the role of fighter-bombers and it was used during the early stage of Vietnam War. The “Starfighter” was based and developed on an original and unique concept for its time: innovative shape of the plane extremely thin, small, straight  mid-mounted, trapezoidal wings, the stabiliator mounted atop the fin, a powerful and reliable General Electric J-79 turbojet engine able to guarantee outstanding supersonic performances. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53867574788437,"sku":"2517","price":118.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/2517_01.jpg?v=1778416837"},{"product_id":"f-16-cockpit","title":"F-16 COCKPIT","description":"The F-16 Fighting Falcon, produced by the American company General Dynamics since the late '70s, is a real icon of the military aviation history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was originally developed, according the United States Air Force need,  to provide a modern and effective single-seat air superiority day fighter.

The primary requirement however was to develop a ‘state of the art’ modern aircraft able to perform low-altitude penetrating strike missions. This need was met by the development of a twin-engine combat aircraft with a variable-sweep wing. The Tornado IDS (Interdictor \/ strike) was the first version to be released by the British Royal Air Force and designated GR.1. In 1996 the Tornado was upgraded to the Gr.4 standard which was characterized by improved operational capabilities, new avionics systems for navigation and the adoption of new ‘on-board’ technologies. These systems enabled the effective identification and tracking of targets and the weapons management of the newer generation of weapons such as GBU-12 Paveway IV bombs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53867581899093,"sku":"2513","price":116.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/2513_01.jpg?v=1778416848"},{"product_id":"f-104g-recce-upgraded-edition","title":"F-104G \"Recce\" (upgraded edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eITALIAN AIR FORCE ORPHEUS RECON POD - BULGED COVER FOR RECON PHOTO SYSTEM - 2 ALE 40 CHAFFS DISPENSERS - FINELY ENGRAVED RECESSED PANEL LINES AND RIVETS  - FULLY DETAILED ENGINE , COCKPIT , AND AVIONICS BAY - FULLY DETAILED GUN BAY WITH COMPLETE M-61 VULCAN ASSEMBLY - OPEN OR CLOSED AIR BRAKES - PHOTOETCHED FRET - 325 PARTS - 2 HUGE DECALS SHEETS FOR 8 VERSIONS - INSTRUCTIONS SHEET WITH COLOR PROFILES\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe 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.

Thanks to the thrust of its General Electric J79-GE-11A afterburning turbojet engine, it could exceed Mach 2,2 with an excellent rate of climb. But it was not very manoeuvrable and difficult to pilot. The F-104G Starfighter was produced on license by several European aviation industries. From the mid-60s, it became the standard interceptor for many NATO countries including Italy, Germany, Holland, Greece, and Turkey. The armament was basically the same found on previous versions, with a 20mm Vulcan cannon and the option to fit under the wings air-to-air missiles, bombs, or additional fuel tanks to increase the airplane's range. With time, reconnaissance duties were added to the traditional interceptor service. The F-104G was therefore equipped with a dedicated “Orpheus” reconnaissance external pod that gave excellent operational results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53867584029013,"sku":"2514","price":86.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/2514_01.jpg?v=1778416850"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/collections\/A_person_making_a_large_spitfire_model_kit_1.jpg?v=1778680373","url":"https:\/\/the-gift-factory.co.uk\/collections\/italeri-1-35-aircraft.oembed","provider":"The Gift factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
