The F-4D Phantom II is one of the most famous supersonic fighters of the second half of the 20th century. In the Iranian Air Force, it was used for a wide range of missions: air defense, ground attack, and reconnaissance, often operating in very difficult conditions and with limited technical support, especially after the imposition of the American embargo. It took an active part in numerous operations during the Iran-Iraq War, making it a unique choice for modelers interested in the history of this conflict and Middle Eastern military aviation.

Difficulty level: 3/5 – recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who already have experience with assembling aircraft models, painting, and applying decals.
