Description
The 'Phabulous' Phantom first took to the air on 27 May 1958 and has been in service around the world for many decades.
The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Iran, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Spain and Turkey have all operated this powerful aircraft. The Phantom starred in both the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm, and in its service career has flown every traditional military mission. With many F-4 variants in service (from FG.1s to 'Wild Weasels'), and some 25 scale model kits currently available, the possibilities for modelling this subject are endless.
One of the few guides available on this model, this book provides an in-depth and step-by-step approach to modelling this plane across a variety of scales, types, and national schemes.
