MSRP: $9.50 USD The F-4 Phantom II was possibly the most widely used aircraft in the Vietnam war. Three branches of the military employed the F-4 in may different roles, the Navy, Marines and the Air Force. The first Phantom to use the internal Vulcan cannon was the F-4E. The reason for the upgrade was the lack of self defense at short range. All the previous models used air to air missiles. A gun pod was experimented with but lacked accuracy. Many MiGs fell to the Phantom during the conflict, and some did fall to the MiGs. This sheet is in memory of the POW’s of Vietnam and all wars. Twobobs has brought their expertise and attention to detail to older subjects. The F-4E SEA Heroes sheet covers 2 aircraft that prowled the skies over Vietnam. The first was the plane piloted by Col. J.D. Pewitt “Chico the Gunfighter”, and the second is Lt. John Dallager/Lt. Don Logan with a MiG kill marking. The sheet is highly detailed and right on register. There are enough markings to build both aircraft mentioned. Of note is that both planes have the early short gun muzzle. Some kits only come with the longer late version. The Pro Modeler has both included in the kit. Since these decals are printed by Microscale, their system is recommended for application. An interesting addition to the colorful marking and painting guide is the factual stories of both aircraft and crews as told by them. All of this sets Twobobs apart from all the other decal creators. This is a great sheet for anyone wanting to build very accurate F-4E Phantom II aircraft from the Vietnam war. This set is very highly recommended! Thank you to Twobobs and John Noack for the review sample! |
