Die Cast Model

Starting in 1973 the Japan Air Self-Defense Force received 154 F-4EJ Phantoms that were based on the USAF F-4E. 138 of these aircraft were manufactured under license by Mitsubishi who produced the last F-4 Phantom II. Several changes were made to the F-4E to make it an F-4EJ. Basically it had any offensive weapons removed but eventually these restrictions were lifted and the aircraft were updated with missiles and the latest electronic equipment.

In 1973 the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) began receiving the first of 154 F-4EJ Phantoms. 138 of these aircraft were manufactured under license by Mitsubishi who produced the last F-4 Phantom II. In 1984 an F-4EJ modernization program labeled “KAI” was begun. The J.A.S.D.F 8th SQ “Black Panthers”, 3rd AW is one of 2 squadrons stationed at Misawa Air Base. In 2003 the Air Combat Meet held at Misawa was won by F-4EJ Kai 57-8354 from the 8th Squadron. The ACM is similar to the NATO Tiger meet.

Specifications for the F-4E Phantom II / F-4EJ

They are virtually identical except for the restricted equipment: This included removal of the in-flight refueling receptacle that was later retrofitted, no leading edge slats, ground attack control equipment such as weapons and bomb delivery systems and the addition of modern electronic equipment including a data link system and radar warning receiver. Most or all this equipment was eventually reinstalled.
