WELCOME
M
y first encounter with the mighty Phantom occurred when I
was just four years old in 1972, at Alconbury airshow. Past a
fleeting gap in the crowds, an RF-4C blasted by and the roar
was like nothing I’d ever experienced. The rumble went from
my feet to my head and I thought I would burst, and then I cried!
After all, a Phantom at ‘full-chat’ is a lot for a small child to handle...
but it lit a fire within and from then on I was obsessed. Fast forward
to 1987, as a newly trained armourer I found myself at RAF Leuchars,
delighted to work in support of my favourite aircraft. Needless to
say, I’ve built most of the available kits over the years!
The legendary F-4 was well covered in kit form in the 1970s and ‘80s,
but until last year ‘Phantom Phans’ suffered a something of a lull;
save for Tamiya and Revell, it was as if manufacturers gave up the
ghost (pardon the pun) and it was many years before a new major
Phantom kit hit the shelves. Maybe the type became a victim of its
own success, and people gravitated to other subjects for variety. Or
perhaps it was the lack of new kits that prompted the faithful to give
F-4 modelling a rest. Arguably the type faded somewhat from show
tables, apart from occasional examples. But now, Academy’s new
1/48 kits have sparked a resurgence of interest in the Phantom,
and after-market producers have not been slow to the call.
This 100-page special publication follows our last two ‘Step by Step’
modelling guides, which were hugely successful. A bit like ‘that
difficult third album’, though, it was tough to think of how we might
progress, but then it became obvious that the F-4 deserved a fresh
look. With that in mind, we hope you enjoy this styrene-based foray
into the legendary Phantom, and the five different builds within.
Those new to the type will find much of use here, but even the
faithful may rediscover techniques and facts long forgotten. Few
aircraft offer such a wealth of colour schemes and sub-types for
modellers, so whether one favours Spook, Rhino or Double-Ugly, let’s
revel in building this amazing air combat all-rounder.
