Tamiya McDonnel F-4C/D Phantom 1/32 60305
 The McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom is a long-range, twin-engine, two-seat multirole fighter designed for operations in difficult weather conditions. The prototype flew on May 27, 1958, and serial production began in 1961. Originally, the F-4 was intended solely as a stormtrooper, but from 1955 onward, design work focused on the US Navy's need for a new carrier-based fighter. The F-4 Phantom proved to be a very successful machine, produced in several versions, exported to many countries, and produced under license. The first versions were models A through D intended for fighter-bombers. The next version was the F-4E, produced since 1967 as a long-range fighter. Reconnaissance versions were also created: RF-4B, RF-4C, and RF-4E. The latest versions are the F-4F and F-4G Wild Weassel - these are electronic warfare aircraft and designed to combat enemy radars. The F-4 participated in the Vietnam War, conflicts in the Middle East (1967, 1973) and the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). A total of 5,057 F-4 Phantom aircraft were built. Technical data (F-4E version): Maximum speed: 2370 km/h, climb rate: 210 m/s, maximum ceiling 18300 m, maximum range: 2600 km, armament: fixed - 1 x 20 mm M61A-1 cannon, suspended - up to 7255 kg of bombs and rockets.
