That's what I understood, at least for the original Navy F-5E/Fs. Of course once the ex-USAF jets showed up, they did have radars. I just checked through my photo archive and came across a pic of F-5F 160966 landing, and it does not have the counterweight, so it would seem that what I had read about those three original Topgun F's not having the counterweight is indeed correct.

Scale_artisan Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 @Fred(f5guy) => Do you remember/know if there is a book cataloguing the SNs from the Navy F-5s and the ex-USAF ones?

Have been hankering after a Norwegian RF-5A for some time. Tony The fifty year anniversary of moon landings makes me nostalgic for a T-38 in NASA markings! No 1/32 T-38 yet?
Tony T Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 18 hours ago, Jennings Heilig said: Tan seems to have basically dried up. No, they're probably doing something like the Russian S-400 and other pre-built creepy-crawly stuff, but I'm still optimistic about the Su-33. Wonder if Turkey buys Su-57, and what Tan Model end up making. Tony
