Our take on the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II Aircraft "VF-96 Fighting Falcons, Showtime 100, Lieutenant Randy Cunningham, USS Constellation, Vietnam" (1972) United States Navy "Collector Series" 1/144 Diecast Mod

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.

About the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II Aircraft "VF-96 Fighting Falcons, Showtime 100, Lieutenant Randy Cunningham, USS Constellation, Vietnam" (1972) United States Navy "Collector Series" 1/144 Diecast Mod

This is a 1/144 scale diecast model of the McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II "Showtime 100" of Fighter Squadron 96 (VF-96) "Fighting Falcons," as flown from the USS Constellation during the Vietnam War in 1972. It is part of the Air Force 1 Collector Series and is an officially licensed product.

Questions and answers

What makes "Showtime 100" significant?
It is the F-4J that Randy "Duke" Cunningham and Willie Driscoll flew with VF-96 off USS Constellation in 1972, the aircraft behind their famous ace-making engagements over Vietnam. The model reproduces that airframe and squadron.
How big is the model?
About 4.75 inches long with a 3.25-inch wingspan, matching 1/144 scale. It fits easily on a desk or a crowded shelf.
Does it come with a stand?
Yes, a display stand is included, along with the model in its original unopened manufacturer packaging.
Is it diecast metal or plastic?
Both. The airframe is diecast metal with plastic detail parts, which gives it a heavier, more realistic feel than an all-plastic kit.
How does it compare with a 1/72 Phantom?
A 1/72 Phantom is larger and shows more detail, but takes more room. This 1/144 model is a compact, ready-built replica aimed at collectors who want the specific VF-96 jet without assembling or painting anything.
Is it a kit or pre-built?
It is a finished, pre-assembled diecast model, not a kit. No glue or paint is needed.
