Art. No.: 510002781
Product Name: 1:48 F-4J Phantom II

The model is a replica of the F-4J Phantom II. The F-4 Phantom II was developed by the American aircraft company McDonnell Douglas and is a two-seat all-weather supersonic fighter-bomber with a tandem configuration. It was introduced into service in the 1960s and is one of the most well-known aircraft in military aviation history. The original design was specifically developed for the U.S. Navy but was used by all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and achieved significant commercial success worldwide. The original version for the U.S. Navy was further improved in 1966 with the production start of the Phantom F-4J. This was marked by the introduction of new systems that enhanced air-to-air and ground attack capabilities. The avionics were significantly upgraded, and the innovative fire control system for look-down/shoot-down capabilities was implemented. Thanks to its two improved General Electric J-79-10 engines, the Phantom could reach a maximum speed of 1,240 knots. Speed, thrust, and reliability were the strengths of the Phantom II, successfully compensating for its reduced maneuverability due to its large dimensions.
