The F-4 Phantom II was a twin-engine, all-weather, fighter-bomber. The aircraft could perform three tactical air roles — air superiority, interdiction and close air support — as it did in southeast Asia. First flown in May 1958, the Phantom II originally was developed for U.S. Navy fleet defense and entered service in 1961. The USAF evaluated it for close air support, interdiction, and counter-air operations and, in 1962, approved a USAF version. The USAF’s Phantom II, designated F-4C, made its first flight on May 27, 1963. Production deliveries began in November 1963. In its air-to-ground role the F-4 could carry twice the normal bomb load of a WW II B-17. USAF F-4s also flew reconnaissance and “Wild Weasel” anti-aircraft missile suppression missions. Phantom II production ended in 1979 after over 5,000 had been built–more than 2,600 for the USAF, about 1,200 for the Navy and Marine Corps, and the rest for friendly foreign nations, including to Israel, Iran, Greece, Spain, Turkey, South Korea, West Germany, Australia, Japan, and Great Britain. Used extensively in the Vietnam War, later versions of the aircraft were still active in the U. S. Air Force inventory well into the 1990s. F-4s are no longer in the USAF inventory but are still flown by foreign nations. This texture is for U.S Air Force.

F-4E 3D Model
The F-4 was designed in 1958 as a company venture by McDonnell Douglas to meet future needs and it turned into the greatest post World War II fighter ever built. Considered by some the fastest, most versatile and effective aircraft ever built. The F-4 was initially designed as an attack bomber without internal weapons. The Phantom carried a greater bomb load than a B-29, yet was an effective fighter shooting down 106 out of 137 Migs destroyed in the Vietnam War. Israel has used F-4’s in all of its major confrontations, at one time shooting down over 70 Syrian aircraft without a Phantom lost. The F-4E was flown by the US Air Force Demonstration team The Thunderbirds from 1969 through the mid 1970’s. F-4E’s were also flown as aircraft known as Wild Weasels and were active in the Persian Gulf War.

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II 3D Model
The 3D model was created on real base. It’s created accurately, in real units of measurement, qualitatively and maximally close to the original.Model formats:- *.max (3ds Max 2008 scanline)- *.max (3ds Max 2008 vray)- *.fbx (Multi Format)- *.obj (Multi Format)- *.3ds (Multi Format)- *.mb (Maya 8.5)- *.lwo (Lightwave 6)- *.c4d (Cinema 4D 11)* renders Are made in 3ds Max 2008 using vray 1.5 (studio environment is not included in the set)If you need any other formats we are more than happy to make them for you.The model is provided combined, all main parts are presented as separate parts therefore materials of objects are easy to be modified or removed and standard parts are easy to be replaced. If you experience difficulties with separating standard parts we are more than happy to give you qualified assistance.We greatly appreciate you choosing our 3D models and hope they will be of use.We look forward to continuously dealing with you.Sincerely Yours,Hum3D Team
