The flight of the prototype took place on May 27, 1958, and serial production began in 1961. Originally, the F-4 was intended only as a stormtrooper, but from 1955 on, the design work went towards meeting the US Navy's need for a new on-board fighter. The F-4 Phantom turned out to be a very successful machine, produced in several versions, exported to many countries and produced under license. The first versions are models from A to D intended for fighter-bombers. The next version is 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 Weasel - these are electronic warfare planes and are designed to fight enemy radars. The F-4 took part in the Vietnam War, the conflicts in the Middle East (1967, 1973) and the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). In total, 5,057 F-4 Phantom aircraft were built.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_attachment\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_attachment\"\u003eTechnical data (version F-4E): Maximum speed: 2370 km \/ h, speed of climb: 210 m \/ s, maximum ceiling 18300 m, maximum range: 2600 km, armament: fixed - 1 20mm M61A-1 cannon, suspended - up to 7255 kg of bombs and rockets.\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2026-10-12T16:48:44+02:00","created_at":"2026-10-12T16:48:43+02:00","vendor":"Italeri","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Italeri","Category_Aircraft","Scale_1\/72 Scale","Type_Military Jets"],"price":75995,"price_min":75995,"price_max":75995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":68305107124475,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"8001283014779","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Italeri - 1\/72 RF-4 C\/E Phantom II","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":75995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri-1-72-RF-4-C-E-Phantom-II.jpg?v=1791816526"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri-1-72-RF-4-C-E-Phantom-II.jpg?v=1791816526","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":46324528021755,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.384,"height":578,"width":800,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri-1-72-RF-4-C-E-Phantom-II.jpg?v=1791816526"},"aspect_ratio":1.384,"height":578,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri-1-72-RF-4-C-E-Phantom-II.jpg?v=1791816526","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/72 RF-4 C\/E Phantom II\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eItaleri 1477\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDerived from the famous twin-engine fighter McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, the RF-4C is a tactical reconnaissance aircraft specifically designed to carry out observation and intelligence-gathering missions, even under difficult and complex flight conditions over enemy territory.
