Description

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

From the manufacturer description:

The F-5A Freedom Fighter is a lightweight and low-cost sophisticated aircraft intended for air-to-ground operations. It was originally designed in the 1950s as a potential jet fighter to operate from the U.S .Navy's Escort Carriers, but eventually served the U.S. Cold War allies after the Navy's withdrawal of the Carrier.

The Freedom Fighter first flew in 1959 and entered service in the 1960s. Standard armament includes 2 M39 20mm cannons with additional pods or missiles of up to 6200lbs on 5 hardpoints and 2 wingtips. While the F-5A was an aircraft with basic equipment, it has reached across the world to countries including Iran, South Korea, the Phiippines, Turkey, Greece and Taiwan through the U.S. Military Assistance Program (MAP) as an ideal solution for an inexpensive, easily maintained but Mach 1.4-capable combat fighter.

Among the F-5A's foreign operators, Canada has made direct purchases and received license to produce the aircraft locally. The Candair F-5A, designated CF-5A (officially CF-116), has an in-flight refueling probe and was powered by Orenda J85-CANO-15 series engines.  The CF-5A was also sold to the Royal Netherlands Air Force afterwards and was further designated as NF-5A.

Includes a detailed cockpit with instrument panel and seats, detailed landing gear, open and closed auxiliary air intake options, and decals by Cartograf for 8 marking options for 6 air forces.
