Coming next week! the Super Wing Series 1/48 F-4EJ Kai "Limited Edition"
The F-4EJ Kai is recreated in its special commemorative JASDF retirement markings, as one of the seven releases in the SWS long-nose F-4 kit lineup (F-4E Early/Late, F-4EJ/EJ Kai, F-4F/F ICE, and F-4G).
In 2020, the 301st Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 7th Air Wing based at Hyakuri Air Base flew F-4EJ Kai aircraft with the special “Phantom Forever 2020” retirement markings. Used in the commemorative final flight, the markings feature the F-4 emblem character “The Spook” on the horizontal stabilizer and squadron’s frog symbol painted in a distinctive metallic blue.
Don’t miss the elongated nose for mounting the Vulcan cannon as well as the fairing under the nose for the cannon, distinctive of long-nose F-4 Phantom II aircraft. The F-4EJ Kai utilizes seven additional lightning strips (static dischargers) on the nose radome as well as a long flash suppressor at the tip of the fairing.
