In 1973, under the "Peace Rhine" program, the Luftwaffe purchased the lightened and simplified F-4F which was upgraded in the mid-1980s. 24 German F-4F Phantom IIs were operated by the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing of the USAF at Holloman AFB to train Luftwaffe crews until December 2004. In 1975, Germany also received 10 F-4Es for training in the U.S. In the late 1990s, these were withdrawn from service after being replaced by F-4Fs. Germany also initiated the Improved Combat Efficiency (ICE) program in 1983. The 110 ICE-upgraded F-4Fs entered service in 1992, and were expected to remain in service until 2012. All the remaining Luftwaffe Phantoms were based at Wittmund with Jagdgeschwader 71 (fighter wing 71) in Northern Germany[94] and WTD61 at Manching. The German Air Force retired its last F-4Fs on 29 June 2013. German F-4Fs flew 279,000 hours from entering service on 31 August 1973 until retirement.

@iDrakeZz The Phantom is a tricky plane to shape right because it's such an awkward design (Aerodynamically it really shouldn't all that flyable from what I've heard before). I agree though; this is a beautifully shaped model. Kind of wish it came it the Luftwaffe two-tone grey by default but I went ahead and did that anyway so whatever.
Agreed bro. 👍🏻@Cjredwards
The f-4 is a work of art!😏 @iDrakeZz
HALLEUJAH!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY SOMEBODY MADE A GOOD PHANTOM!!! We have something in common Cj, the f-4 is my favorite plane of all time too! Which one you might ask? All of 'em! Fun fact: I once smoked my friend's starfighter in an f-4B in a game called "Strike Fighters Legends"
