Mod «F-104C Starfighter» for Ravenfield (Build 29)

The F-104C Starfighter had a limited but notable role in the Vietnam War, primarily as a tactical fighter and fighter-bomber for the U.S. Air Force. Initially deployed for air superiority missions, the aircraft's high speed and agility were useful in intercepting enemy aircraft. However, it found more use in ground-attack and close air support roles, despite its design as an interceptor. The F-104C was employed in bombing and strafing missions but struggled due to its short range, limited payload capacity, and vulnerability to ground fire. By 1967, it was largely phased out in favor of more capable aircraft like the F-4 Phantom II. Despite its limitations, the F-104C made valuable contributions to the early stages of U.S. air operations in Vietnam.
