F-4J Phantom II
The F-4J Phantom II was an improved version of the earlier F-4B designed specifically for the US Navy and Marine Corps. First rolling out of McDonnell Douglas' factory in 1966, the F-4J provided significant improvement in air-air combat ability via the addition of the AN/APG-59 pulse doppler radar, which provided one of the first 'look-down shoot-down' capabilities on a 3rd generation fighter. By the time they were retired in from American service, over 520 of this variant had been built.

My first build as part of the Vietnam collab display at BrickFair Virginia. It's shaping up to have a lot of awesome models so far!
