Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series Diecast Model

McDonnell Douglas RF-4C Phantom II - 106th TRS, 117th TRW, Alabama ANG, "Desert Storm"

1:72 Scale.  Length: 9.75".  Wingspan: 6.25"



In February of 1971 the 106th TRS of the Alabama ANG was the first ANG squadron to receive the RF-4C Phantom II. These aircraft were replacements for the older RF-84F Thunderflash. In 1990 the 106th TRS deployed to Bahrain in support of Operation Desert Storm, where they flew cross-border reconnaissance missions gathering information about the Iraqi military build up as well as locating mobile “Scud” missile launchers

The RF-4C was an unarmed reconnaissance variant of the F-4C Phantom II. It was designed for information gathering. The RF-4C can carry a variety of cameras in three different stations in its nose section and take photos at both high and low altitude, day or night. It carried no offensive weapons, although during the last few years of service some were fitted with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles for defense. The first production aircraft made its initial flight on May 18, 1964.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom is a two-seat, twin-engine supersonic jet fighter originally developed for the US Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it became a major part of the air wings of the US Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. The F-4 Phantom was used extensively by all three of these services in the Vietnam War, serving as the principal fighter/bomber for the U.S. Navy and Air Force, as well as being important in the ground-attack and air reconnaissance roles.


Hobby Master offers a wide selection of quality, pre-assembled, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted to a high level of accuracy using specifications of the original aircraft. They are constructed with precision-made diecast metal and some plastic components.
