Historical information:
The Northrop F-5E/F Tiger II is a lightweight multirole fighter, widely used by the United States Air Force and air forces of over 30 other countries. Tiger II jets entered service in the early 1970s (the Cold War period) and served both as fighters and as combat training aircraft. The F-5 was known for its low operating costs and ability to operate in challenging field conditions. The drag chute, which the QB49114 set is meant to replicate with high realism, was located at the rear of the fuselage and was particularly important for landings on short runways.

The Quickboost QB49114 set is made entirely of precisely cast resin, ensuring sharp and realistic details—greatly surpassing typical plastic kit components. Thanks to this, modellers can recreate this key element of the aircraft with exceptional attention to historical accuracy. The set does not include any metal or photo-etched parts, which makes it simple to assemble and easy to integrate with the AFV Club model fuselage.

This product is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modellers who wish to increase the realism of their 1/48 scale aircraft models. It offers a quick and easy way to upgrade the fuselage, without the need for complicated conversions.

• Build difficulty: 2/5 – easy assembly, previous experience with resin is recommended.
• Recommendation: The set is an excellent supplement to the F-5 model, allowing for greater historical accuracy and more realistic finishing touches. A great choice for Cold War aviation enthusiasts and all types of display models.
