Why choose this set?

The offered HobbyDecal MT72002V1 set allows you to replace stock plastic parts—which are often too thick and brittle—with ultra-thin, perfectly scaled metal details. This guarantees not only a better appearance of the finished F-4 model, but also higher resistance to accidental damage.

Recommendation:

This product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to upgrade their classic Phantom model and strive for high contest standards. We rate the product at 2/5 on the difficulty scale – easy assembly, but caution is recommended when installing the very thin metal parts. It is an excellent choice for fans of refined, highly realistic aircraft models.
