About product

Aires F-5E Tiger II electronics bay 1:48

A resin detail set from Aires in 1:48 scale that adds an open electronics bay to the plastic kit of the Northrop F-5E Tiger II. The set contains finely cast parts for the bay with equipment blocks and the surrounding structure, so the model can be displayed with the service panel open. It is not an airplane model but an accessory for a kit.

The real subject

The F-5E Tiger II is an American single-seat light fighter with two General Electric J85 engines. It stood out for its simplicity, agility and low running costs, which is why it spread to dozens of air forces around the world and also serves as an aggressor aircraft in training. The avionics service bays were routinely accessible for maintenance on the ground.

Fitting and painting

First wash the parts to remove any mold release agent and separate them carefully from the casting blocks. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate), and resin should be sanded with your airways protected. The bay usually calls for cutting the relevant panel out of the plastic; bring the interior out with shading colors, a dry brush and a wash.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building the F-5E who want an open avionics bay
  • more experienced builders with experience in resin
  • collectors of Cold War light fighters
  • anyone interested in detail beyond what the kit offers

This is a resin accessory for a kit, not a model in its own right. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
