  Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA3354: Northrop F-5F Tiger II J-3211, Swiss Air Force, 2014. Production of only 500 pieces.

Swiss Air Force F-5F J-3211 was manufactured in 1981 as c/n M-1011 / 81-0862 and was delivered to the Swiss Air Force June 18, 1984. In total the Swiss received 98 F-5E single-seaters and 12 F-5F two-seaters. After several years of service major cracks began to show in some of these aircraft. There has been much debate over which aircraft will be purchased to replace the F-5s and the Tiger II will be operated until 2018. The 16th Squadron operates four F-5Fs from Payerne AB in western Switzerland.

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.
