Hi Fred,

 

The story goes that all adversary (US NAVY - NFWS, VF-43, VF-45) F-5s had the radar removed during the first years of operations. 

 

 

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. HTH, Fred K.

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

Making me wonder what is happening at Tan Model with their 1/32 T-38 Talon and F-5A/B Freedom Fighter.

Have been hankering after a Norwegian RF-5A for some time.

The fifty year anniversary of moon landings makes me nostalgic for a T-38 in NASA markings!   No 1/32 T-38 yet?

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.

I can only imagine a 32nd scale Su-57

Turkey buys the Su-57 and they can kiss their NATO membership goodbye.

PREDICTION: If this happen then I see a war coming between Turkey and Greece.

Let's keep the thread on point, discussions regards WWIII belong elsewhere.

If the issue that the company is experiencing right now with the specific model is not money-related then it could be a technical one.

You'll also need an IRQ7A ejection seat. The instrument panel can be used "as is".

Tom already listed the most commonly used types of ordnance found on Iranian F-5s.

    I hope the resin aftermarket companies save your summary and use it to help their production decisions.
