Ferris Splinter: 1/48th Hasegawa F-4S Phantom II
There was a time, and a long time it was, that the 1/48 scale Hasegawa F-4 Phantom model kits reigned supreme. Most Phantom variants eventually got covered by Hasegawa and they produced the F-4S version around 1998. They have now been [...]
Tamiya 1/32 F4C
There has probably been more misinformation published on 64-0829 than almost any other Phantom. I have tried to build this jet as it may have looked on the 30th March 1967 when the then Col. Robin Olds led a low level strike against the [...]
Phantom 1/48 F-4G "Wild Weasel"
The Phabolous Phantom as a Wild Weasel both by Hasegawa and Meng. Hasegawa's Phantom is presented it the first three photographs and the Meng Phantom follows. The Meng kit is much better engineered and more detailed. It also includes more [...]

1/72 Academy F-4J Phantom US Navy

Capital Guardian- F-4D, 113th wing, DC Air National Guard

This Guard Phantom is a MiG killer, just not with the DC Air National Guard. 66-7661 bagged a MiG-17 and MiG-21 in Vietnam, and it belonged to the 555th [...]
Academy 1/48 F-4B Phantom II
Although it has some fit issues and 3 colors plastic part trees, Academy's Phantom is superior to the venerable Hasegawa kit. It boasts with nicely detailed surface texture and has the full armament arsenal of the F-4B variant.
In the end, [...]
McDonnell Douglas Phantom II F-4D, Tamiya 1/32
Old Vietnam veteran from 435th Tactical Fighter Squadron (1966 - 1974) (Tail Code: FO), 8th Tactical Fighter Wing.
Tamiya released kit (60305) in 1995, so it's quite old (and huge in this scale). Kit was completed in year 2022.
Painted [...]
