About product

McDonnell F-4D Phantom II Vietnam Aces 2 (1:72, Hobby 2000)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American McDonnell F-4D Phantom II fighter in 1:72 scale in the Vietnam Aces 2 edition from Hobby 2000. The box uses Hasegawa injection-molded plastic and adds masks and decals of its own. Check the actual contents and the number of schemes against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The F-4D was the improved version of the Phantom II for the US Air Force, following on from the early F-4C. It brought improved avionics and a more accurate bombing system. The edition commemorates, among others, the machine of the pilot Steve Ritchie of the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron (the Triple Nickel), who shot down five MiG-21s and became the only fighter ace of the US Air Force from the Vietnam war. It is precisely the D designation that sets this item apart from the early F-4C version.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic and sand the joints. Paint the extensive cockpit glazing with the help of the enclosed masks and pick out the interior before closing the fuselage. Assemble the underwing stores according to the scheme you choose. The typical Vietnam Southeast Asia camouflage (brown and green upper surfaces, a light underside) comes into its own after a gloss coat, the decals and picking out the panel lines with a wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American jet fighters of the Vietnam era
  • Modelers experienced with building in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone interested in the history of fighter aces and of the Triple Nickel squadron

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
