McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom 11 in the superb markings of the USAF 12th TFW based at Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam during 1968-9. Limited edition, complete with Unsung Heroes booklet giving pilots accounts of the conflict. Fantastic looking highly sought after model, now really hard to find. Box is not totally perfect, model is undisplayed.
The F-4 Phantom II first entered US Military service in 1960. It was designed as a fleet defense fighter for the US Navy but by 1963 it was adopted as the US Air Force primary fighter-bomber. Despite the size and weight of this Cold War icon the F-4 broke 15 world records and continued to hold five of them until 1975. Produced from 1960 to 1981 there were 5,195 Phantom IIs manufactured. Eleven countries other than the USA had the Phantom II in their inventory. |
