Finally, we have found a vendor who says that they have at least one 1:72 scale Corgi McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom II US Navy VF-111 Sundowners. AIRshows America offers it for $39.95.
This model is an authentic replica of the McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom II flown by fighter pilots of the US Navy fighter squadron VF-111 Sundowners. On 6 March 1972, while flying from the USS Coral Sea (CVA-43), VF-111 crew LT Garry Weigand and LTJG Bill Freckleton engaged and shot down a MiG-17 near Quang Lang Airfield in North Vietnam. Their aircraft, F-4B, NL 201, BuNo 153019, was restored to the original paint scheme by the current Sundowner squadron and is displayed on a pedestal just inside the main gate at NAS Key West, Florida. The squadron later transitioned to the F-4N version of the Phantom, and in late 1976 through early 1977 made an Atlantic and Mediterranean deployment, a rare event for a Pacific Fleet squadron. The Sundowners deployed with the rest of CVW-15 aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV-42) for that carrier's final cruise before decommissioning and the squadron's final deployment with the venerable F-4. The squadron returned to NAS Miramar in April 1977 and began to divest itself of its F-4 Phantom II in preparation for transition to the F-14 Tomcat.
