This book is the genesis of a very popular series dedicated to military aircraft. Focusing mainly on details for modelers, this book contains a wealth of information about the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. Beautiful color photographs meticulously document the details of this aircraft, with highly descriptive captions to go along with them. General details of the single seat f-104, as well as the two seated TF-104, include airframe, engine, cockpits, ejection seats, landing gear, radar, ordnance, pilots, servicing equipment, flight preparations, and paint schemes and markings under foreign flags. A modelers guide and exquisite scale drawings round it out into an overall treasure chest of information for the scale modeler, as well as the aviation enthusiast.

As is the case with all Verlinden Lock-on publications, this title delivers loads of info in a small package. The numerous detail shots and use of color throughout really benefits scale modelers and aviation enthusiasts alike. Recommended to anyone interested in the Cobra.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good one for a modeler, August 9, 2001

By	"sky061" (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lock On No. 6 - Bell AH-1S Cobra (Paperback)

I was quite pleased with this book because I am planning on creating a 3d model of the F-104 and the last 3 pages of the book have 3-view foldouts with cross sectional views of the F-104. This will be of great assistance with construction of the 3d model. The book has tons of pictures including quite a few very close-up's. If you are a fan of the F-104 you will be pleased. If you are looking to make a 3d model or a want a book to assist with construction of a plastic model then this book is a 5 star value. It even includes a list of plastic models and reviews each of the different models from the different model makers.
