About product

Northrop F-5B 1:72 (PM Model)

A kit of the two-seat trainer version of the light supersonic fighter Northrop F-5B in 1:72 scale from the Turkish manufacturer PM Model. It is an injection-molded plastic model in gray plastic with clear parts for the extended two-seat canopy; decals are included. The design is simple, with a lower part count. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package.

The real subject

The F-5B is the two-seat trainer variant of the F-5 Freedom Fighter family. Compared with the single-seat F-5A it has a lengthened forward fuselage with a tandem cockpit for instructor and student, yet it keeps the full flight characteristics and capabilities of a combat aircraft. It was used to train pilots of a number of allied air forces.

Building and painting tips

Pay attention to the fit of the cockpit parts and the clear canopies. Clean up the flash, dry-fit the parts and fill the joints if needed. Glue with thin cement for plastic, use a primer and spray the paints with an airbrush. Lay down gloss clear before the decals and finish the build with a matte overcoat.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of trainers and Cold War machines in 1:72
  • For beginners and advanced modelers looking for a quick build
  • For fans of the Northrop F-5 family

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The F-5B has a two-seat tandem cockpit and a lengthened nose for training, while the F-5A is a single-seat fighter. Otherwise it is the same family of aircraft.

Decals are included, paints and glue are not, so those have to be bought separately.

No. The lower part count and the straightforward design put it among the simpler kits; with an older mold expect the usual clean-up.
