UPC 1/50 Phantom II - McDonnell F4H-1 (F-4C) - USAF or US Navy, 5090-300 plastic model kit

1/50 5090-300 UPC Phantom II - McDonnell F4H-1 (F-4C) - USAF or US Navy

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

This kit represents somewhat of a mystery. We know that UPC did not make any of their own tooling, but the mold origin of this kit are unknown. In an apparent cost saving measure, the large box re-uses the same Scott Edison box art from the smaller-scale UPC F-4 which is an ex-Hasegawa kit. The dramatic box art claims this is a F-4C; however, the instructions state that it is an F-4H-1. Since they are a copy of the original manufacturers instructions, I believe the instructions. The kit is interesting for it's level of detail. It includes the fuselage fuel tanks and two detailed engines. The cockpit includes ejection seats, two pilots, side instrument panels, control stick, main panels and opening canopies. Rudders, ailerons, flaps and elevators all move and the wings fold as well. There are internal wing fuel tanks. The landing gear retracts and all gear doors close also. The nose can be removed to display a detailed radar package. A wide choice of wing and fuselage loadouts is provided, with numerous AIM-7 Sparrow missiles (body mounted and on wing pylons), iron bombs and a centerline drop tank. There is one large decal sheet with two decal choices: FJ-199 USAF as shown on the box art and a US Navy aircraft from VF-102 USS Enterprise. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions.
