This a brand new mold of the F-5E Tiger II. The Hasegawa kit was the standard for many years and now Kitty Hawk is the new standard. The kit comes with a very detailed cockpit and forward gun bay. Two figures are included and I would say the pilot figure could have been sold separately. The decal sheet and the color profile sheet are super. The modeler can build markings for aggressor to foreign countries that use the Tiger II for their air force. This kit is highly recommended.

You can only build an F-5N OOB. It has recessed panel lines and clear lights. It is designed so that the gun bays can only be displayed open. There is good cockpit detail and comes with resin, two pilots, one standing, one sitting and exhaust nozzles. It also has options for nine different aircraft markings.I was disappointed with the fit issues but it is a better starting point than it's competitor.

The model shows the amount of effort put into the current engineering and designs. The only real complaint I have is that the model is very well detailed to have a lot of the panels open and the canopy raised. I have had to modify key elements to show a flight ready aircraft. Enjoyable, but very inconvenient to not have the option to have a closed canopy or closed nosegun panels. Overall very good surface detail and one of the best and clearest canopies I have had the pleasure of working with on ANY model so far.

Having built a number of the Hasegawa 1/32 F-5E Tiger IIs over the years, this new release and redesigned tooling from Kitty Hawk is welcome. Using today's molding technologies with engraved panel line, additional features and details provide more building options. While beginners will build it OOB, the kit offers for the advanced builder opportunities go extreme detailing, either way a fun build.

Building and so far fit is good. Only issue is the panel lines and rivets are very delicate in some places, and there are a few mold seams that need to be dealt with. It does build into the F-5E with the LEX upgrade, but can easily be converted to an earlier model.
