AFV Club AR48105 1/48 Northrop RF-5E Tigereye

Model Aircraft Kit

The AFV Club 1/48 Northrop RF-5E Tigereye accurately reproduces the dedicated reconnaissance variant of the renowned F-5E Tiger II, featuring finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, clear camera bay windows, optional position canopy, and authentic external stores for a highly realistic build. Developed to provide tactical photo reconnaissance without sacrificing the F-5’s outstanding speed and agility, the RF-5E replaced the fighter’s nose-mounted cannons with an advanced camera suite capable of gathering vital battlefield intelligence while operating in high-threat environments. Widely exported and flown by several allied air forces throughout Asia and the Middle East, the Tigereye earned a reputation as a reliable and economical reconnaissance platform during the Cold War and beyond.
