The model depicts an early F-4E as in service with 32 Tactical Fighter Squadron, stationed at Soesterberg AB, the Netherlands, ca. 1971. 32TFS was the only USAF-unit to have a Royal (i.e the Dutch House of Orange) crest to its squadron badge.
The basic model is enhanced with an Avionix cockpit, Quickboost bang seats, Aires exhausts, Master pitot tube, Eduard photo-etched details, AIM-4 Falcon and AIM-7 Sparrow missiles and Reskit AIM-4 launchers. The model was airbrushed with XtraColour, decals are by DutchDecal and IsraDecals (stencils).
