[About the actual aircraft]
The masterpiece jet fighter used in each country from the start of operation in 1960 to the 2000 s is the F-4 Phantom II of the United States.
The F-4, which was first developed by the U.S. Navy as a carrier-based fighter, was not only adopted by the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Marine Corps, but also became a masterpiece fighter adopted by many Western countries.
In Japan, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force introduced the 86 f as a successor to the previous F-50F. It started operation in 1984.
The aircraft is based on the F-4E of the U.S. Air Force, and the equipment is modified as the Air Self-Defense Force specification. The F-4EJ was produced under license.
Many variations of the F-4 Phantom were created, but the RF-4E is a reconnaissance aircraft, and the RF-4EJ, which was originally manufactured as a fighter aircraft, is equipped with reconnaissance aircraft equipment, and the RF-4EJ is also deployed.
They have been protecting Japanese skies for nearly half a century, but they are being retired as time goes by.
Against this backdrop, in fiscal 2019, the F-2 Phantom was painted with a special paint to show off its fans who were reluctant to retire the F-4 Phantom at various air festivals and other events. The F-2 Phantom was then displayed at the Hyakuri Air Base, where it had a lasting beauty.
[About the model]
This kit is a plastic model assembly kit which reproduces RF-4EJ Phantom II which is a reconnaissance aircraft type by modifying F-4EJ in 1/144 scale.
In addition to the reproduction of the nose shape which is different from the RF-4E, the reconnaissance pod attached under the fuselage is also well expressed.
Of course, the Phantom II with the delta wing is reproduced with full feeling.
The total length is about 130 mm. The number of parts is limited, so it is easy to assemble. I look forward to the collection as well as the reasonable size.
The markings reproduce the special paint machine that participated in the final tour.
In addition to the band mark designed in the motif of the film drawn on the body in the decal, the illustration of the shark teeth drawn on the nose and the illustration of the official Character duct of the phantom are reproduced in the decal.
The decal is made by Italian Cultgraph, which is known for its high quality.
It was also drawn on the special marking in 2020.
Be sure to build a kit and keep the RF-4EJ Phantom II brave.
