HA3310	Corgi	F-5E Tiger II - 5286, 00307,46th TFS ROCAF (500 ONLY)	£ 0.00
			Out of stock

	Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA3310 is this superb 1/72 scale diecast model of Northrop F-5E Tiger II serial 5286, 00307 of the ROCAF. Intended primarily for the Taiwan market only, these models are really rare in the UK as ONLY 500 were made and only a tiny proportion imported here. In 1982 the 44th, 45th and 46th FS formed the 7th FG of the 737th FW. In 1984 the wing converted from the F-5A/B to the F-5E/F and the 46th became a independent TFS reporting directly to the 737th TFW and tasked as an Aggressor Squadron. The 46th TFS F-5Es were painted with large red buzz numbers on the nose and the stenciled “Chung Chen” on the side of the fuselage. In 1988 ROCAF installed its Tactical Aircrew Combat Training System/Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (TACTS/ACMI) training range at Taitung AFB with the 46th TFS as its sole unit. ROCAF Northrop F-5E buzz number 5286 was built as c/n VG.1013 serial number 80-00307 Module C. The Northrop F-5 tactical fighter was designed as an extremely maneuverable, supersonic fighter with a high rate of reliability at a low operating cost. The F-5 first flew on July 30, 1959 with the first customer delivery in 1964. The last of more than 2,600 F-5’s was produced in 1989 and about two-thirds of these are still in service with 26 countries more than 4 decades later. The F-5 was manufactured by Northrop Grumman and under license in Canada, Taiwan, South Korea, Spain and Switzerland.
