Description

Jagdgeschwader 74 Phantom. Commemorative McDonnell F-4F Phantom of the German Air Force's 74th Fighter Wing "Viva Zapata" In 1961, after F-86K Sabre's American trainers mentioned the German pilots were as crazy as Mexican pilots (refering to the pilots of Squadron 201 that fought in the World War II, decal 71), the german pilots decided, in September 9th, 1971, the 74th Fighter Wing of the German Air Force nicknamed its squadron "Viva Zapata", as the Mexican Revolutionary "Emoliano Zapata". As far as we found, of all the aicrafts that the JG-74 has had, only thse two Phantoms wore elements refering to Zapata. This set includes decals to build both Phantoms, plus vinyl masks to paint the Phlyout version.
