Just after the title; next near the end.

Lockheed F-104J Starfighter

Lot of model kits used during the fight against the monster, firing most of the time rockets.

Sidewinders in distress !

Real ones seen on the tarmac

All shots are edited very fast, this could not help to identify exactly the F-104J seen. Here is serial 46-8564, a Mitsubishi-built airframe c/n 683B-3064. A mechanic informs squadron leader that "8th Squadron is ready" but no Kokudan in any Hikotai using the F-104J was numbered like this.

Taking off by pairs. Once in the air, models replace the real F-104s.
