Because of growing tension between North and South Korea the South Korean government placed an initial order for 18 F-4Ds. The USAF filled this order with aircraft that were already in stock rather than building brand new aircraft. The first aircraft of the 18 ordered arrived at Taegu AB on August 29, 1969. F-4D 64-0935 was transferred to the RoKAF in August 1969 assigned to the 11th TFW, 110th TFS. RoKAF eventually received somewhere between 70 and 92 ex-USAF F-4Ds.

Hobby Master has manufactured a plethora of McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantoms, as part of their 1/72 jet collection. This particular model caught my eye, because of all the white stencils applied to the die-cast. These were used to help and assist maintenance personal in accomplishing inspections and maintenance behind those panels and locating parts and systems on the aircraft.
The Koreans were very precise on what they did on the Phantoms, so the stencils made their work and completing the tasks easier. Aikens always does a great job in packing the models for the trip to my collection!
