1:48 Hasegawa 07475 McDonnell Douglas F-4EJ Kai Phantom II 302SQ Final Year 2019 - Japanese Fighter Aircraft Plastic Model kit

A spectacular farewell to a legendary fighter aircraft! The Hasegawa 07475 McDonnell Douglas F-4EJ Kai Phantom II 302SQ Final Year 2019 commemorates the final years of Phantom operations with Japan's 302nd Fighter Squadron. This detailed plastic model kit in 1:48 scale represents the F-4EJ Kai in a striking white commemorative livery, specially created to mark the retirement of the aircraft type from squadron service. With its powerful twin-engine configuration, distinctive wing design and unique farewell markings, this Phantom makes an impressive addition to any collection of modern military aircraft.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II made its first flight in 1958 and became one of the most recognisable combat aircraft of the Cold War. Japan introduced the specially adapted F-4EJ into service with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), where it played an important role in national air defence for several decades. The later F-4EJ Kai, also known as the Super Phantom, received upgraded radar equipment, improved avionics and additional electronic systems. In March 2019, the 302nd Fighter Squadron retired its Phantoms at Hyakuri Air Base. To commemorate this significant occasion, several aircraft received distinctive special paint schemes. The white version carrying aircraft number 428 became one of the best-known farewell aircraft from this period.

This Hasegawa release allows you to recreate a remarkable piece of Japanese aviation history. The kit comprises 132 parts and accurately captures the characteristic lines of the Phantom II, including its twin-engine arrangement, large air intakes and distinctive tail section. The plastic components are moulded in white, while the included decals allow you to reproduce the special commemorative markings of aircraft 428. This aircraft belonged to the 302nd Hikōtai of the 7th Air Wing and was based at Hyakuri Air Base during 2018 and 2019. Its remarkable farewell livery makes the model particularly suitable as a striking standalone display piece or as part of a collection of historic Japanese military aircraft.
