Tamiya : F-4J Phantom II Marines : 1/32 Scale Model : In Box Review

Fuselage length: 555mm, wingspan: 368mm

Originally developed for the Navy, the F-4J Phantom also eventually equipped Marine squadrons and was used to provide close air support for ground forces during the Vietnam War. This plastic model kit recreates the complex form of the Phantom’s fuselage as a one-piece part and also incorporates screws to ensure a strong assembly. Die-cast main landing gear legs provide added strength while parts such as the canopy, airbrake, and refueling probe may be assembled in either open or closed positions for different display options. To remain true to the actual aircraft, plenty of air-to-ground ordnance is included together with two crew figures and three marking options.
