About product

Northrop RF-5S Tiger eye 1:48 (AFV Club)

This injection-molded plastic kit in 1:48 scale from the manufacturer AFV Club captures the Singaporean reconnaissance version of the light supersonic Northrop F-5 fighter, nicknamed Tigereye. The model is supplied as an unassembled and unpainted kit meant to be glued together and painted.

The real subject

The RF-5S is a photo-reconnaissance conversion of the F-5 Tiger II fighter operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). In place of the radar and part of the onboard armament it carries a reconnaissance sensor suite in a reworked nose, which shows in the characteristic shape of that nose. It is a single-seat supersonic aircraft with a pair of jet engines.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and dry-fit the parts first, above all the transitions of the nose and the air intakes. Paint the landing gear bays and the cockpit before you close up the fuselage. Once sprayed with a primer, paint it with an airbrush; apply a gloss clear coat under the decals so that they settle without silvering, and bring the camouflage scheme out with a fine wash.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers of modern jet fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in the reconnaissance variants of the F-5
  • Collectors of equipment of the Republic of Singapore Air Force
  • More experienced modelers

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