AFV Club AR48106 1/48 Northrop F-5F Freedom Fighter USAF

Model Aircraft Kit

The AFV Club 1/48 Northrop F-5F Freedom Fighter faithfully recreates the two-seat trainer version of one of America’s most successful lightweight supersonic fighters. Featuring finely engraved surface detail, a highly detailed cockpit with tandem seating, optional open or closed canopy, and accurate external stores, this kit captures the sleek lines of the F-5F while offering an enjoyable build for both aircraft enthusiasts and experienced modelers. Originally developed during the Cold War as an affordable, agile fighter, the F-5 family served with the U.S. Air Force primarily as an advanced trainer and as the basis for the famous “Aggressor” squadrons that provided realistic dissimilar air combat training. The F-5F’s excellent handling characteristics and reliability also made it a popular export aircraft, remaining in service with numerous air forces around the world for decades.
