1/48 F-4C Phantom II Wild Weasel IV

What is the "Wild Weasel"? A special aircraft whose main mission is to suppress enemy air defense networks.

The Wild Weasel IV is a successor to the F-105G, a modified F-4C designed specifically for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) missions. Its main mission is to use various sensors such as the AN/APR-25, -26 and ER-142 to locate enemy SAM (surface-to-air missile) site tracking/guidance radars or radar waves emitted from radar sites and their location, and then attack them with anti-radar missiles such as the AGM-45.It is nicknamed "Wild Weasel" because it resembles a weasel crawling on the ground in search of prey.
The F-4C Wild Weasel IV, which built the foundation for modern SEAD missions, has been thoroughly reproduced down to its exact exterior shape and even the fine details, such as the added special antenna. You can enjoy comparing each type as you assemble it.
