Tamiya 60308 1/32 F-4J Phantom II Marines Scale Model Kit  [60308]

F-4J Phantom II Marines in 1/32 Scale

The McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II remains an icon of Cold War aviation, first flying on May 27, 1966. Powered by General Electric J-29GE-10 turbo jet engines, the type earned a reputation for speed and versatility during operations such as the Vietnam War.

Combat Heritage and Modelling Appeal

The F-4J achieved notable combat milestones, including the first recorded Marine shootdown of a MiG-21. The Tamiya 1/32 kit captures that legacy with precise cockpit detail, realistic landing gear and authentic weapon fits that appeal to serious builders and display collectors.

Assembly Notes and Display Considerations

Building this Tamiya F-4J is a detailed project that rewards careful work. The kit contains finely cast parts, die-cast metal landing gear and solid synthetic rubber tyres, and offers options for open or closed canopy poses with a one-piece fuselage suitable for neat displays.
