1/48 SWOP F-4E/EJ/F/G Metal Struts

The 1/48 SWOP F-4E/EJ/F/G Metal Struts #SWS48-10-M01 from Zoukei-Mura’s Super Wing Option (SWOP) series are engineered to provide both enhanced realism and superior structural strength for F-4 Phantom II scale models. Designed specifically for the E, EJ, F, and G variants, this set replaces standard plastic landing gear with precisely machined metal components that faithfully replicate the robust look of the Phantom’s real-world undercarriage. These metal struts are ideal for builders who plan to add weighty resin upgrades, metal weapons, or detailed wheel sets, as they significantly reduce the risk of long-term sagging or gear collapse. Fine surface detailing preserves scale accuracy while offering a crisp foundation for painting, weathering, and hydraulic line detailing. Once installed, the model gains a noticeably more authentic stance and a reassuring sense of durability. Perfectly matched to Zoukei-Mura 1/48 F-4 kits and compatible with other Phantom builds where applicable, the SWOP metal strut set is a practical and high-end upgrade for serious Phantom modelers. Whether displayed wheels-down on the flight line or as part of a heavily detailed diorama, these metal struts deliver strength, precision, and confidence—exactly what a Phantom deserves. Scale: 1/48 Type: Metal Parts Included Items: Nose Landing Gear x1, Main Landing Gear x2
