Italeri - 1:48 RF-4E Phantom II

Super Decals sheet

The RF-4E was the unarmed reconnaissance version of the famous McDonnell Douglas two-seat fighter F-4 Phantom II. Designed and developed for export, it was the combination of the reconnaissance system of the RF-4C with airframe and the powerful engines of the F-4E. The German Luftwaffe received the first samples in the early 70s and became one of the main users, along with Japan, Iran, Israel and Greece. In addition, many components and reconnaissance systems were also manufactured in Germany. The RF-4E was able to carry out "all-weather" reconnaissance missions in a very efficient manner thanks to the cameras installed in the bays, the infrared sensors and the homing radar system. Some countries developed specific versions more in line with the specific operational application.

The finished model measures 39.8cm.
