Faithfully Recreated Cold War Design

The McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 is the British version of the American F-4 Phantom II fighter, introduced into service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy. The FG.1 variant features numerous modifications tailored to British requirements, including more powerful Rolls-Royce Spey engines and folding landing gear for operations from the short flight decks of carriers such as the Ark Royal and Eagle. The Phantom FG.1 was used intensively between 1969 and 1992, mainly as an interceptor and as a training and combat aircraft.

The 1/72 scale Airfix model replicates the silhouette of this iconic aircraft with the utmost attention to detail, including precisely rendered pilot cockpits, weapon systems, and the distinctive fuselage and landing gear components.
