F-4M Phantom II (FGR.2) 1:48 #5908

This time, one of the most recognizable interceptor fighters in Great Britain is waiting to be built.

With 728 bricks, you can build a model of the iconic F-4M Phantom II in the British version, which not only patrolled the skies over Europe and the Atlantic, but also helped during the Falklands War in 1982.

The Story of the British Phantom

In the 1960s, after discontinuing work on the ambitious British TSR-2 and P.1154 fighter designs, the United Kingdom decided to purchase American F-4 Phantom II aircraft. These machines were specially adapted to the needs of the Royal Navy and the RAF and received the designations FG.1 (F-4K) and FGR.2 (F-4M).

The British Phantoms were different from the American versions. They were equipped with locally produced Rolls-Royce Spey engines, modern electronics and a modified design that allowed them to operate from smaller aircraft carriers, such as HMS Ark Royal. They were one of the most technically advanced aircraft of their time.

For many years, RAF Phantoms patrolled the skies over Europe, based in both the United Kingdom and West Germany. During the Falklands War, they played an important role in the defense of the archipelago – first operating from a base on Ascension Island, and later from the airport in Port Stanley.

The Phantoms were finally decommissioned in 1992, replaced by the Tornado F3. However, they left behind a lasting legacy, as reliable, versatile and modern fighters that served the British Armed Forces for decades.

Why build the F-4M Phantom II RAF model from COBI?

728 pieces – Built with high-quality bricks, the model features a wealth of details that replicate the British versions of the F-4M, including modified engines, additional armament and RAF markings
