These machines were specially adapted to the needs of the Royal Navy and the RAF and received the designations FG.1 (F-4K) and FGR.2 (F-4M).British Phantoms differed from the American versions. They were equipped with locally produced Rolls-Royce Spey engines, modern electronics and a modified design that allowed them to operate from smaller aircraft carriers, such as the HMS Ark Royal. They were among the most technically advanced aircraft of their time.For many years, RAF Phantoms patrolled the skies over Europe, based both in Great Britain and in West Germany. During the Falklands War, they played a significant role in the defense of the archipelago - first operating from a base on Ascension Island, and later from the airport in Port Stanley.The Phantoms were eventually withdrawn from service. In 1992, they were replaced by the Tornado F3. However, they left behind a lasting legacy as reliable, versatile and modern fighter jets that served the British armed forces for decades.Why build the F-4M Phantom II RAF model from COBI?728 elements - Built from high-quality bricks, the model includes many details that replicate the British F-4M versions, including modified engines, additional armament and RAF markings.Printed RAF markings - The model does not contain stickers.
