Initially, a single-seat version was considered, but based on the experience of the RF-4E which had been introduced earlier, they reverted to a two-seat version. Thus, it was adopted by the West German Air Force and became the F model, but because it was equipped with a simple radar without an illuminator function, it could not operate AIM-7 Sparrow missiles, and its air-to-air armament consisted only of AIM-9 missiles and cannons. In addition, the aerial refueling system and one internal fuel tank were removed to reduce weight. Externally, it is characterized by being equipped with movable leading-edge slats and a stabilizer (tail fin stabilizer) without fixed slats. 175 F-4F aircraft were procured for two fighter-bomber wings and two interceptor wings. In 1983, under the Combat Efficiency Improvement (ICE) program, the radar system was replaced with the AN\/APG-65GY to improve beyond-visual-range look-down\/shoot-down capabilities, enabling the use of AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. 110 aircraft were used for air defense, while another 37 were modified for enhanced ground attack without radar modifications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●Kit Contents\u003cbr\u003eThis product reproduces the combination of newly molded soft wings and stabilizers without fixed leading-edge slats.
