Description

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

From the item’s packaging:

The F-5B Freedom Fighter is part of a family of widely used light supersonic fighter aircraft, designed and built by Northrop. Although less complex and advanced than some contemporary aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom II, it was significantly cheaper to procure and operate, the type became a popular aircraft on the export market. It was perhaps the most effective air-to-air fighter possessed by the U.S. in the 1960s and early 1970s. Strengths included the aircraft’s compact size, a high level of maneuverability, favorable flying qualities, a low accident rate, and a high sortie generation rate, led to hundreds of F-5s remaining in service into the 21st century.

• Detailed cockpit with instrument panel and seats
