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.

Yes, the canopy can be built in open or closed positions, and removing it during painting makes masking and interior detailing easier.
For best decal adhesion, use a smooth gloss basecoat and apply decal setting solution where necessary; allow paint to cure fully before applying decals.
Aftermarket upgrades such as resin seats or photo-etch sets may be compatible, but check dimensions and instructions from the upgrade maker before purchasing.
Assembly time varies by skill level but expect several evenings to a few weekends for a carefully finished build including painting and decals.
