The F5 update that lost the competition to the F16. A nice model to have on the stand.

This airplane was an improved F-5 fighter that had a new and more powerfull engine, better electronics, but the overall details of its father. It was facing the F16 as the cheap fighter. And it lost. Only 2 were made, and used as testing. As a kit, its simple but with adequate details. Not many know what is this model about, as it is a rare airplane, even if the kit is common. nice to be near a YF-16 prototype.

Nice kit

Nice little kit. Loved the fit of the parts and the open canopy. With some spare decals and weapons. This kit builds up into a great What If aircraft.

good but simple
By pamason

This is a good what if plane. The parts fit well and cockpit has some detale and comes with pilot. The inst are easy to read and it is a plane that you can paint any you want. The decals that come with the plane are not much. But after market decals can make this any plane you want. same with the hardpoints it comes with three tanks and two sidwinders. But the chart shows were outher stores can be placed. A simple plane that is a great what if.

F-5 On Steroids!
By Jimmy D.

Glad Hasegawa has chosen this plane for its 1/72nd scale lineup. The kit is fairly simple, and thus, should make for a fast build. The F-20 Tigershark was essentially a beefed up F-5 Freedom Fighter on steroids. It was fast, agile, and could carry an impressive array of ordinance. Unfortunately, it lost out to the F-16 in competition. Nonetheless, I think it's a fine looking plane and I'm happy to have it in my display case. This would be a great first model for beginners, but experienced modelers will probably like it too. It would be fun to experiment with this plane and update it to what it might look like now had it made into front line service. Let your imagination run wild!

- Keep small parts and sharp edges away from children.
- Care should be taken when using tools and modeling knives.
- Modeling paint should only be used by an adult in a well-ventilated area.
