The F-4E Phantom II, by McDonnell Douglas, is a hallmark of postwar jet design. As a supersonic, all-weather fighter-bomber it saw extensive service and helped define multi-role operations across several air forces.
The F-4E stands out for its internal M61 Vulcan cannon plus compatibility with AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-7 Sparrow missile loadouts. Twin General Electric J-79 engines produced the thrust needed for high speed missions. The Phantom's larger airframe favoured straight line speed and payload over tight turning circles.
This Italeri 1/48 kit captures the Phantom II profile and provides a comprehensive decal sheet covering four paint schemes. The parts are designed for accurate assembly and finish, making the model a solid choice for display or competition painting.
