			Out of stock

	Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA1958: McDonnell Douglas RF-4C Phantom II 68-567 "Starize", 1stTRS/10th TRW, Alconbury UK in 1986. Production of 1,000 pieces, of which only a few came to the UK. The 10th TRW was located at Alconbury, England and had 3 Tactical Reconnaissance Squadrons, the 1st, 30th and 32nd. Until May 1965 these squadrons flew the RB-66 Douglas Destroyer when they began to convert to the RF-4C Phantom II. In the early 1970’s tail codes became the standard markings and Alconbury was assigned “AR” -1st TRS, “AS” – 30th TRS and “AT” – 32nd TRS. After about 1 year all Alconbury aircraft wore “AR” on the tail with the 10th TRW distinguished by a small color stripe on the tip of the tails. 1st TRS blue, 30th TRS red and the 32nd TRS yellow. 68-0576 was sent to AMARC on December 9, 1991. The first production RF- 4C flew in May 1964. The RF- 4C was an unarmed recon variant designed for information gathering. This variant is quite easy to recognize from other F-4 variants because of the distinctive nose. The larger nose was designed to accommodate radar, sensors and flat windows for cameras. During its years of service the RF-4C used two nose variations. The original design was the angular version with a later design that had a smoother rounded camera bulge. There were 503 RF- 4Cs built with 499 being officially accepted by the USAF.
