Here is a triumphant entrance into the extensive 1/48 Aircraft Series for the Phantom II with this model, which depicts the F-4B variant. The Phantom II first entered service in 1961, and offers excellent adaptability to a range of purposes. F-4Bs were the first Phantom II aircraft to see active service; powered by twin jet engines, they could carry significant ordnance and were used by the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps through the Vietnam War, and into the 1970s and 1980s before they were phased out in favor of later designs and left U.S. service in 1996.
