Franklin Mint Armour Collection B11B588McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II Diecast ModelUSN VF-84 Jolly Rogers, AG203, USS Independence, 1966 1:48 Scale Length Width McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II 15.75" 9.5" US Navy Fighter Squadron 84 (VF-84) was established on July 1st, 1955. Three US Navy squadrons have used the name and insignia of the Jolly Roger: VF-61 (originally VF-17), VF-84, and VFA-103. While these are distinctly different squadrons that have no lineal linkage, they all share the same Jolly Rogers name, the skull and crossbones insignia and traditions. VF-84 adopted the name in 1960 while operating the FJ-3 Fury. The squadron transitioned through the F-8 Crusader and F-4 Phantom II before upgrading to the F-14A Tomcat in 1976. VF-84 deployed several times aboard the USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt before being disestablished on October 1st, 1995, and handing over the Jolly Rogers title to VF-103. McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II Designed as a fleet defense fighter for the US Navy, the F-4 Phantom was first flown on May 27, 1958. This twin-engine, long-range all-weather fighter/bomber proved highly adaptable and served in the Marine Corps and the US Air Force as well as in the Navy. During the Vietnam War, it was the principal air superiority fighter for the Navy and the Air Force and was also used for reconnaissance and ground attack. The Phantom continued to serve well into the 1970s and 1980s and even flew missions during the first Gulf War. Finally phased out by the F-14, F-16 and F/A-18, the Phantom was retired in 1996. COLLECTIONLIQUIDATION SALE! Corgi/Armour/Franklin Mint A note about these items: I am selling off the last 400-500 of my high quality collectible cars and aircraft (mostly Corgi, Franklin Mint, Armour) from a local collection. The majority have not been out of the box or if they have were handled very little, I do not believe any have been displayed most are "New In Box" or “like new” in the box so please bid accordingly as some may have been sitting for some time. All have been stored, moved and shipped at some time of their lives! These items are being sold "As Is" . Please look at all the pictures of the boxes and the item as this is the exact item you will be getting. Please read the entire description as we will do our best to describe each item accurately. I have sold over 3,000 of these items and will do my very best to ensure our descriptions are correct. Contact me with questions about specific items or if you are looking for something specific. My intent is to provide an accurate description of each item that meets the expectation of the buyer. I hope to under promise and over deliver. SHIPPING DISCLOSURE: We do our best to ship all items very carefully. If you want the item insured let me know and we can add that to the shipping charge. I send items USPS. They do a good job BUT I have witnessed how they don’t always treat their packages with care. I AM NOT responsible for any damage that occurs in the shipping process. I have NO control over that. What I will do is ship your boxed item in another box and pack well with peanuts, newspapers or other protective materials. Our shipping cost typically covers the postage price, the materials to ship, labor costs to ship AND THE 10% that eBay charges as well. We are happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases only on individual items sell for more than $30.00. So if you end up buying 2 or more items that are $30 or more each I will combine shipping costs. If you buy multiple items that sell individually for less than $30 each combined shipping is not available. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO LOOK AT ALL PICTURES AND READ THE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE YOU BID OR BUY. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. read more
