The F-5A Freedom Fighter is a 1:72 scale model kit that offers a detailed replica of this Cold War-era aircraft. This replica, which is 20 cm long, showcases the streamlined and agile design that made the F-5A a popular option for numerous air forces across the world.
Designed by Northrop in the 1950s, the F-5A was meant to be a cheap and light fighter for NATO member nations. It had 2 General Electric J85-GE-13 engines that gave it a top speed of 1,700 km/h and two 20 mm guns on the nose that made it very good at fighting.
It was exceptionally effective at both air defence and ground attack tasks because it was able to do more than one thing. This Italeri model kit is fun to put together and would be a great addition to the collections of flight fans, military history buffs, and collectors.
