This is the F-4B Phantom 150476 VMFA-323 US Marines 1967 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
McDonnell Douglas F‑4B Phantom II BuNo 150476 was a U.S. Marine Corps fighter‑bomber assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 323 (VMFA‑323), the “Death Rattlers,” during 1967 in the Vietnam War, flying combat missions from bases such as Chu Lai and Da Nang in South Vietnam. VMFA‑323 had transitioned to the F‑4B in the mid‑1960s and that year flew air‑to‑air and air‑to‑ground sorties in support of ground troops and air operations in I Corps, contributing to the intense air campaign over northern South Vietnam and along the DMZ. The Death Rattlers flew thousands of combat sorties throughout their Vietnam tours before eventually returning home and later transitioning to newer aircraft.

Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
