- Special Feature: Still Shining The Supersonic Fighter - F-104 Slim wings and a razor-sharp nose cutting through the Mach era. The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter-affectionately known in Japan as 'Maruyon'—continues to captivate modelers and aviation enthusiasts alike with its bold, uncompromising form and wide variety of markings. This special feature explores the appeal of the Maruyon from every angle. Enjoy its overwhelming sculptural beauty—just as striking in scale form as in the real aircraft. Centered on FineMolds’ highly anticipated new kit, we also provide real aircraft photographs and basic painting illustrations packed with practical tips you can apply directly to your build. Beyond that, we delve into new ways to enjoy the F-104 through internal structure reproduction kits, aircraft that served in Taiwan, and even the G-model that portrayed the “NF” in the film The Right Stuff. Relive the deep and fascinating world of the Maruyon through scale modeling. A fighter that pursued speed to its absolute limits—its allure still ignites the passion of modelers today. ・Special Interview: Kunihiro Suzuki × Isami Akiyama — F-104J 'Eiko' ・This issue is packed with eye-catching gimmicks!
