Academy 12294 1/48 Scale Phantom II USAF F-4C Build

The Academy 1/48 USAF F-4C Phantom II kit captures the look of the Vietnam War era fighter while providing a detailed build experience for Australian modellers. The Phantom II's signature profile and operational versatility are reflected in the model's parts layout.

Service History and Scale Interest

Used extensively by the United States Air Force, the F-4C combined speed and payload flexibility in wartime operations. The kit enables builders to recreate those characteristics and study the aircrafts form at a display-friendly scale.

Build Complexity and Parts Detail

Parts come moulded with fine detail that rewards careful assembly and finishing. Builders should plan time for subassemblies like cockpit, landing gear and nose sections to achieve accurate alignment and paint preparation.

Collector Value and Presentation

Finished models offer strong shelf presence and historical context, making them attractive to collectors who prioritise realism. The scale suits both standalone presentation and placement within larger aviation displays.
