The unique stubby razor-thin wings of the F-104 were designed to minimize transonic drag and push the aircraft past Mach 2. This tested model C.1950’s is an original piece used at Ames NASA testing facility when creating the aircraft. The wing comes with the original steel mount, which now makes a nice stand for the piece.

Piece is in good condition with some signs of pitting and some age old dings on corners which you’d expect from age and testing

piece is made of aluminum with steel mounting bracket

Pictured with an average man's manikin head for scale the piece measures 17.75” at the highest point and 21.25 at the widest. Stand is 7.5” x 3” and weighs 21 lbs.
