Matchbox 1/72 Northrop F-5A
Matchbox 1/72 Northrop F-5A PK-12 was first released in 1972. A simple and sharp looking kit that took the modeling world by storm, well for someone who was 13 years old back then. But to be honest, a lot of my paper route adult customers [...]
Revell (Esci) 1/72 F-5A Freedom Fighter
Hellenic Air Force (HAF), started receiving the F-5A in 1965. In the same year, the 341st Day Interception Squadron (MAH) was declared operational, followed by the 343 MAH. 55 aircraft were initially received, followed by 17 RF-5As in [...]
Western Cold-War Minimalism: Kinetic 1/48th CF-5A
This 1/48th scale F-5A Freedom Fighter release from Kinetic in 2012 (and later F-5B release) was a nice addition to the scale, as the type was underrepresented to date. Although not a quick build, with careful fitting and patience in [...]
AFV Club 1/48 F-5F Freedom Fighter
AFV Club's first foray into aviation topics results with a vary nice kit. Their Freedom Fighter is a detailed kit that builds into a seemly accurate depiction of the aircraft. The engraved panel lines are somewhat schematic, but the fit of [...]

Designed for a [...]
Persian Thunder...Kinetic 1/48 Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter, Imperial Iranian Airforce
Let the new season begin!
Kinetic kit, needs some filler, a molding issue appeared on the left side of the tail fin in the area of the leading edge. The tip tanks are one piece parts and molded both the same way, to say both for one side [...]
F-5e afv 1/48
Beatiful kit with very small amount of putty.
Painted it with AK colours with leveling thinner. Just amazing colours. The only extra is an Aires seat.
VnAF F-5A ‘Freedom Fighter’
Hey folks, my most recent (two hours ago) completed project - The 1:48 Kinetic F-5A/C 'Freedom Fighter'.
Mostly the kit was an easy and rewarding build - I say mostly as the fit of the intakes was laughable, not so much as a gap at the [...]
1/48 Kinetic F-5A TuAF
Here is my 1/48 Kinetic F-5A Freedom fighter with the markings of Turkish Air Force circa 1971. This was finished few months ago.
Instrument panel of the kit is not accurate for a classical F-5A. So ıt needs to be corrected. Cockpit [...]

This is an upgraded jet training aircraft before F-16 AND F-4 Squadrons. Fuselage same with classic F-5 but cockpit and avionics mostly different. [...]
