The real subject

The F-5E Tiger II was a twin-engine light fighter powered by a pair of General Electric J85 jet engines. It came about as an improvement of the F-5 series and became one of the most widespread light fighters of its era — thanks to low operating costs, good handling and supersonic performance it was used by the air forces of a number of countries around the world. It was deployed for air defense and training and it still serves in the aggressor role today.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts from the sprues and glue clean joints with a thin modeling cement for plastic. Glue the canopy glazing carefully, ideally with a cement for canopies, so the plastic does not fog. Lay down primer before painting; it covers best with an airbrush. Paint and pick out the cockpit interior before the fuselage is closed up. After the gloss varnish and the decals emphasize the panel lines with a wash and add fine wear.

  • Fans of modern jet fighters and the Cold War
  • Modelers who value the smaller 1:72 scale
  • Collectors of light fighters operated by many countries around the world
