Academy 1/72 F-4J Phantom II VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" – 12529

Build one of the most recognizable aircraft in U.S. Navy aviation history with Academy's 1/72 scale F-4J Phantom II VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" model kit. Kit 12529 features Academy's Multi-Color Parts (MCP) system, with plastic molded in white, gray, black, and clear parts to make assembly and finishing more accessible for modelers.

The kit features finely detailed panel lines and rivets, basic cockpit detail, J79 engine faces at the ends of the intake ducts, positionable landing gear, and positionable speed brakes. The F-4J can be displayed either in flight or in a parked configuration.

A comprehensive weapons load is included, with AIM-9 Sidewinders, AIM-7 Sparrows, Mk.82 500-pound bombs, triple ejector racks, and external fuel tanks. Two VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" marking options are included, representing F-4J Phantoms assigned to the squadron aboard USS Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1970. Cartograf decals are included for the distinctive Jolly Rogers markings.

The famous skull-and-crossbones markings of VF-84 make this Phantom an excellent choice for modelers interested in U.S. Navy aviation, Vietnam-era aircraft, or the history of one of the Navy's most recognizable fighter squadrons.
