The F-4C performed varied roles during the Vietnam conflict, from interception to ground attack, which is reflected in its robust airframe. This kit gives modellers a chance to explore those operational design choices in miniature.

Construction Approach and Finishing Advice

Careful construction improves final appearance; attention to cockpit detail, nose alignment and undercarriage fitting will enhance realism. Surface preparation ahead of painting makes a big difference at 1/48 scale.

Suitability for Collections

At 1/48 scale the assembled model holds up well in mixed military displays or as a solo exhibit, offering period feel and educational value for aviation collections.
