Eduard 491486 is a professional photo-etched detail set dedicated to F-4C Phantom II plastic models in 1:48 scale, produced by Hobby 2000 and Academy. This high-quality modeling accessory was created for the most demanding aviation and scale modeling enthusiasts who want to enhance their replicas with the highest level of detail fidelity.

The F-4C Phantom II is an iconic American multi-role fighter that debuted in US Air Force service in the 1960s. It participated, among others, in the Vietnam War and numerous Cold War-era conflicts, becoming one of the most recognizable aircraft of the period worldwide. The F-4C was also widely used by countries such as Iran, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The period of active use of this version was from 1964 to 1980, making it a true icon of the Cold War era.

The Eduard 491486 photo-etched set is made from high-quality brass sheet, subjected to precise chemical processing. This allows for the replication of even the smallest cockpit interior details, such as intricate instrument panels, switches, pedals, seatbelts, emergency handles, and ejection seat elements. The parts are pre-painted, which significantly facilitates and speeds up assembly and allows even less experienced modelers to achieve a realistic final effect.
