Publisher's Description of COBI F-4 Phantom II - 703 pieces (Armed Forces)
The F-4 Phantom II is a supersonic multi-role fighter that has served in the US Air Force since the 1960s. Designed by McDonnell Aircraft it was used in interception, bombing and reconnaissance missions, including during the Vietnam War. It reached speeds of over Mach 2 and carried a wide range of weapons. On the USS Midway aircraft carrier-museum in San Diego the Phantom II is one of the key exhibits. Visitors can see it up close, learning about its role in the history of military aviation.
With 703 COBI construction blocks you can build the iconic F-4 Phantom II aircraft in units from the USS Midway aircraft carrier, which can be visited in San Diego (USA). The licensed set was built based on the plans of the F-4 aircraft maintaining the highest attention to block details. The plane has characteristic prints, movable ailerons and detachable landing gear and weapons. The cockpit opens and can be used to place symbolic mini-figures of pilots. The set includes a block display stand and a plate containing the name and scale of the plane. The 1:48 scale model complements the series of planes released as part of the Armed Forces collection! Build history, piece by piece, with COBI.
The COBI Armed Forces sets feature modern tanks, planes, helicopters, and troop transport vehicles used in recent wars and other military engagements.
