This is a 1/144 diecast model of the F-4J Phantom II flown by Randy Cunningham and Willie Driscoll as VF-96's "Showtime 100" off USS Constellation in 1972. It is a small desk-scale replica with engraved panel lines, antennas and access panels, and it comes with a display stand in a sealed box. At roughly 4.75 inches long and 3.25 inches in wingspan, it suits collectors who want a specific Vietnam-era Navy Phantom rather than a large centerpiece. Against 1/72 diecast Phantoms it trades size and detail for shelf space and a lower outlay; against cheaper 1/144 jets it stands out for the accurate VF-96 markings and the historical subject.

The model is made of diecast metal and plastic. It has realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and other surface details, along with authentic squadron markings and the "Showtime 100" nose numbers. A display stand is included.
The real aircraft was flown by Lt. Randy "Duke" Cunningham and Lt. (jg) William P. Driscoll. On May 10, 1972, they scored three aerial victories in one mission, bringing their total to five confirmed MiG kills and making them the first American aces of the Vietnam War.
