TAMIYA 1/48 MCDONNELL DOUGLAS F-4B PHANTOM II

Tamiya 1/48 McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II Plastic Model Kit

Recreate one of the most important American combat aircraft of the Vietnam era with the Tamiya 1/48 McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II. This all-new 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit faithfully captures the early F-4B configuration, combining a highly detailed airframe with realistic variable display options and a comprehensive selection of ordnance.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

The F-4B was the first Phantom II variant to see active service. Entering service in 1961, the twin-engine fighter was operated by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps units and became a defining aircraft of the Vietnam War era. Its combination of speed, range, heavy weapons capacity and adaptability allowed the Phantom II to undertake a wide variety of missions.
