The best 1/48 scale would deffinately be a HASEGAWA kit. They have the C/D and an E
In 1/32 you have a choice pf Revell or Tamiya. Do a model search for Greatmodels.com

Thanks RotorHead67, but how unlucky for me, the model i'm looking for is out of production/stock at the moment.

Thanks again,

Tamyia makes a 1/32 E (and a C/D) model F-4 with US markings. However you should be able to find aftermarket IAF markings from several companies, production seems to edd and flow on decals which means you may have to some searching/trading to get what you're looking for. Then again you may not.
Good Luck.

GUARNERE,
Im not sure of the Europead distributors in your area. But you should be able to land one at one of these:
Hobbylinkjapan.com
Squadron.com
Hennats.com
Do a search for mail order on Hobby retailer .com something has to come up.
Good LUCK

Hi Guarnere.
the hasegawa model is fine in 1/48th scale but quietly expensive( for sure in israel).
Monogram is good but looks 30years old.at the same scale.
in 1/32 i recommand tamyia model for a c/d but for a E revell is good also and cheaper.
In this case prefer the mig killer version instead of F4F german.
The E mig killer is more accurate to a israeli f4e or KURNASS.
For the decals you have a israeli company called isradecal.
the contact is Ra'anan Weiss PO BOX581 Bat-Hefer 42842 Israel. E-mail:weiss@shani.net

P.s if interested in any models from Europe tell me i can send you via Cargo Airline in Tel-Aviv
