2 SUPER DECALS SHEETS FOR 4 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET
Developed by the American aircraft company McDonnell Douglas, the F-4 Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, all-weather, supersonic fighter-bomber. It entered service during the sixties and it is one of the most famous airplanes of the military aviation history. In the original project, it was specifically designed for U.S. Navy but it has been used by all U.S. forces and it obtained a significant commercial success around the World. The original version designed for the US Navy was further improved in 1966 with the production start-up of the Phantom F-4J, characterized by the adoption of new systems able to enhance the air-to-air and ground-attack combat capabilities. The avionic was significantly improved and the innovative fire control system for look-down / shoot-down capability was adopted. Thanks to its two upgraded General Electric J-79-10 powerful jet-engines the Phantom was able to reach the top speed of 1,240 Knots. Speed, thrust and reliability were the Phantom II strengths able to successfully counterbalance the reduced maneuverability due to its big dimension.
McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom er en langrækkende, to-motoret, to-sædet multi-rolle jagerfly designet til operationer under vanskelige vejrforhold. Prototypens flyvning fandt sted den 27. maj 1958, og serieproduktionen begyndte i 1961. Oprindeligt var F-4 kun tænkt som en stormtrooper, men fra 1955 gik designarbejdet i retning af at imødekomme den amerikanske flådes behov for et nyt jagerfly ombord. F-4 Phantom viste sig at være en meget succesfuld maskine, produceret i flere versioner, eksporteret til mange lande og produceret på licens. De første versioner er modeller fra A til D beregnet til jagerbomber. Den næste version er F-4E, produceret siden 1967 som et langtrækkende jagerfly. Rekognosceringsversioner blev også oprettet: RF-4B, RF-4C og RF-4E. De seneste versioner er F-4F og F-4G Wild Weassel - disse er elektroniske krigsføringsfly og designet til at bekæmpe fjendens radarer. F-4'eren deltog i Vietnamkrigen, konflikterne i Mellemøsten (1967, 1973) og Iran-Irak-krigen (1980-1988). I alt blev der bygget 5.057 F-4 Phantom-fly. Tekniske data (version F-4E): Maksimal hastighed: 2370 km/t, stigningshastighed: 210 m/s, maksimalt loft 18300 m, maksimal rækkevidde: 2600 km, bevæbning: fast - 1 20mm M61A-1 kanon, Suspenderet - op til 7255 kg bomber og raketter.
