About this Plan

F-5E Tiger II. Free flight scale model jet fighter. Wingspan 13 in, length 24 in. Scale is 1/24.

Quote: "With instructions to build a model for static display or catapult launch flying model."

Planfile includes full build instructions.

Quote: "Before you start construction of your model, study the plan and construction procedure carefully so you have a complete understanding of the step by step method of building this airplane. Careful attention to detail, patience and quality workmanship will insure a beautiful model. Remember, work slowly and carefully at all times.

This multi-purpose model has been designed to give you a variety of building choices. You can build the model for static display on table top with landing gear in position. You can build the model for static display in flying mode without landing gear (simulated retract position) or you can build the model for flying either as a hand launch or catapault launched glider.

You must decide how you want to build your model now and then proceed accordingly. Choose a flat building board and always cover plan with a clear kitchen film to prevent parts from sticking to plan.

Step 1. Cover plan with any clear plastic kitchen wrap to prevent parts from sticking to plan. Carefully identify and remove Keel parts #K1 and #K2 from diecut sheets. Pin in place over full size drawing, gluing together where they join..."

    ScaleType: This (oz15599) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.

    If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.


    Notes:
    ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_F-5
    Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
    For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
    Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

User comments

RogerB, thank you for uploading these (so far) three models of this line. And for the work you put into this.

There might be couple more up my sleeve, so please keep checking back ;-).
RogerB - 16/10/2024
Thanks, Roger :) 13in wingspan? Quite a Peanut, when flying indoors remember to leave opposing doors open for fly-bys and touch-and-gos!
Miguel - 16/10/2024
What a great plan, if it weren't for the logo etc, I'd say it was a classic Comet model! Graphically it is a fine piece of work.
Miguel - 17/10/2024
I was thinking that although this is not quite the same as the T-38 Talon, but they are very similar and with a few modifications you could build a T-38 out of it and have a lot more subjects to base your model on.
RogerB - 17/10/2024
Yepp, the T-38 has been developed in parallel with the F-5 from the Northrop N-156 design. Both were based on the Northrop N-156 fighter project, thus the great similarities.

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
