Description
This is a 1/48 scale unasembled plastic model kit,
The Navy flew the F-4B extensively in Southeast Asia and as technology improved, the Navy ordered the F-4J to replace the F-4B.
While the F-4J was entering service with the Navy,
the F-4B was exhibiting fatigue after a decade of flight ops and 228 of these aircraft were refurbished and updated under the Bee Line program.
While the F-4N retained the F-4B radar and engines, the J79-GE-8 engines were updated with 'smokeless' kits.
The aircraft was refitted with slotted stabilators, fixed inboard wing flaps, drooping ailerons, and other aerodynamic improvements developed for the F-4J.
The F-4N would serve as a gap-filler until the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet came online in sufficient numbers.
This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted.
So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.
