The Corgi AA33202 is a diecast model airplane that depicts a McDonnell F-4J Phantom F.Mk.3 aircraft in the livery of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1986. The specific aircraft depicted is serial number ZE361 of No. 74 Squadron, based at RAF Wattisham in Suffolk, England.
The model is made in 1/72 scale, which means that it is 144 times smaller than the real aircraft. The McDonnell F-4 Phantom F.Mk.3 was a British variant of the American McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. It was a long-range, all-weather jet fighter bomber that was used by the RAF from the 1960s to the 1990s. The F-4J variant was an upgrade of the earlier F-4M variant, and it featured improved avionics and radar.
No. 74 Squadron was one of the RAF's longest-serving fighter squadrons. It was formed in 1917 and saw service in both World War I and World War II. In the 1980s, the squadron was equipped with the F-4J Phantom, and it flew a number of missions during this time, including patrols over the North Sea and exercises with NATO allies.
The Corgi AA33202 is a detailed and accurate model of a historic RAF aircraft. It is a great collector's item for anyone interested in military aviation or the history of the Royal Air Force.
