The Aires 4868 F-4B Phantom II Ram Air Turbine 1/48 upgrade set is a high-quality accessory designed for the plastic model of the F-4B Phantom II aircraft in 1:48 scale by Tamiya. This component enables accurate replication of the ram air turbine, one of the distinctive features of the F-4B used by the United States Armed Forces.

The ram air turbine was used as an emergency power source in the event of main engine failure. The extendable turbine blade would allow the generation of electricity and hydraulic pressure, helping to maintain maneuverability and flight safety.
The F-4B Phantom II primarily served in the US Navy from the early 1960s, during the Cold War and the Vietnam War. In these situations, emergency systems such as the ram air turbine often saved pilots' lives during combat damage or onboard system failures.
