Tamiya 61121 F-4B Phantom II 1/48 Scale Model Summary

Tamiya presents the 1/48 McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II as a finely moulded plastic kit that appeals to aircraft modellers wanting clean panel lines and realistic assembly options. The kit represents the F-4B type seen in the Vietnam-era inventory.

Role in Service and Aircraft Traits

The Phantom II, introduced in the early 1960s, saw extensive use in Vietnam with the Navy, Air Force and Marines. Its twin-engine configuration supported high speeds and substantial payloads, which kept the type operational across many roles for decades.

What the Kit Includes and How It Builds

Key dimensions are a fuselage length of 370mm, height of 104mm and wingspan of 243.9mm. The kit allows outer wings to be modelled folded or extended, with a movable tailplane and selectable open or closed canopy. The refuelling probe and boarding ladder are provided as fit options.

Parts for missiles and a drop tank are included to enhance display realism, and multiple decal choices plus a full-colour painting guide make liveries straightforward to replicate.
