300061121 - Model Kit,1:48 F-4B Phantom II McDonnell Douglas

Series production of the Phantom II began in 1961 with the F4-B. The two-seat supersonic fighter was used by the Air Force, the Navy and the Marine Corps, among others, during the Vietnam War. Powered by twin jet engines, the Phantom II could also carry ordnance and was therefore also used as a fighter-bomber. In 1996, the Phantom II was sent into well-deserved retirement.

The wing structure (panel lines/rivets) of the original aircraft was faithfully reproduced in the model. The outer wings were set up for use on aircraft carriers (space-saving), the right and left tailplane move together. The cockpit canopy can be opened, the refuelling probe and boarding ladder are also functional. The kit comes with detailed building instructions, painting instructions, various decals (including "Screaming Eagles" decals) and background information on the history of the Phantom II.

Caution!Not suitable for children under 3 years. Choking hazard due to small parts.
