Meng 1/48th scale F-4G Wild Weasel
Aircraft depicted is wearing the European one or "lizard" scheme which was in use from the late seventies to the early 90s.













Aircraft depicted is an F-4G wild weasel serial number 69-7268 from the 81st Tactical Fighter Squadron, 52nd Tactical Fighter Wing based at Spangdahlem Air Base, West Germany, July 1987. It is shown armed with two AGM 88 harm anti radiation missiles, two AGM 65 Maverick laser guided missiles three AIM 7M Sparrow air to air missiles and one AN/ALQ-131 Jammer Pod.

On the left intake splitter plate you will see a stylized weasel with the letters YGBSM which according to legend when the first Weasel Pilots who flew F-100 Super Sabers learned of their mission of hunting down and destroying Sam site radars and radar guided anti-aircraft sites he said "You gotta be shitting me!"

Some of the enduring nicknames of the F4 Phantom were Lead Sled, Double Ugly, and Rhino

I very likely burned SOAP samples for that very bird.

Along with slipping. on the tarmac from some of it's leaking hydraulic fluid.


Hopefully 777 will be along shortly to tell of his time in the cockpit of this lovely bird

Oh, and terrific job on the build OP. ;)
