About product

Northrop F-5E Tiger II (MiG-28) 1:48 - AFV Club

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American light supersonic fighter Northrop F-5E Tiger II in 1:48 scale from AFV Club. The model has finely engraved panel lines, well worked out instrument panels, openable landing gear doors and an auxiliary intake door that can be built open or closed. The MiG-28 designation in the name is a film reference - it was a camera trick in which black-painted F-5s played a fictional enemy type; factually it is still a Northrop F-5E.

The real subject

The Northrop F-5E Tiger II was an American light, inexpensive and reliable second-generation supersonic fighter. Thanks to its low running costs it became an export success with a number of allied states, and the US Navy as well as the US Air Force used it as an aggressor machine for air combat training. It was precisely these dark-painted aggressors that became the subject for the fictional enemy fighters on film.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with thin liquid cement for plastic. The landing gear doors and the auxiliary air intake can be built open and the detail accentuated with a wash. Apply a primer before painting; the all-black aggressor scheme stands out best after shading the panels and light weathering.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of aggressor and training units
  • For lovers of light supersonic fighters
  • For collectors of aircraft in 1:48 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
