Review Summary

The reviews highlight a model kit of a lesser-known aircraft, often praised for its simplicity and good fit of parts, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced modelers. Many appreciate the opportunity for creative customization with "what if" scenarios, additional decals, and varied weapon loadouts, though some note the included decals and weapons are limited. The aircraft itself is described as an enhanced version of its predecessor, with superior speed and agility, but ultimately unsuccessful in competition against a rival fighter.

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

By: jclemente1980 (Coimbra, Portugal)

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.

good but simple

By: pamason (Entiat, WA)

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.

Nice kit

By: user98989

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.
