Product description

USMC F-4B/F-4J Phantoms in the Vietnam War for the Academy/Tamiya kit

This extensive 1/48 sheet covers six Marine fighter attack squadrons operating the F-4B and F-4J Phantom in the Vietnam War (with some additional coverage when stationed in Japan and Hawaii).

Full airframe data for one aircraft, including complete panel numbers/labels, is also included with this release. Vast majority of the aircraft covered on this sheet had this type of airframe data that was typical of reworked airframes in mid/late 1960s into the early 1970s. Two primary exceptions are the early F-4J schemes of VMFA-232 [WT-12] and VMFA-334 which still carried the original factory new style of airframe data (not provided in this release).
