Mastercraft Collection F-4E Phantom II Model Scale: 1/48
The supersonic long-range all-weather F-4 Phantom II was designed for the United States Navy (USN) by McDonnell Douglas. It first entered service in 1960. During the Vietnam War, it was the primary air superiority fighter and a workhorse fighter-bomber for the US Air Force (USAF), Navy and Marine Corps. By 1963, it had been adopted by the USAF for the fighter-bomber role. When production ended in 1981, a total of 5,195 F-4s had been built, making it the most numerous American supersonic military aircraft. In 2000, over 1,000 units were in service with 11 nations worldwide. This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and history buff!
