Why this kit matters

The Northrop F-20 Tigershark was a light fighter, designed as a low-cost alternative to more expensive fighters. Despite its advanced technology and impressive performance, it was not adopted by the U.S. Air Force or any other major air force. The F-20 remains a fascinating example of a "what-if" aircraft that could have changed aviation history. This model kit allows you to recreate a piece of aviation history in detailed miniature.

This model kit offers a unique opportunity to construct a highly detailed replica of a modern fighter that never reached its full potential. The F-20 Tigershark's distinctive appearance and its "what-if" status make it a compelling subject for model builders. Building this model is a tribute to the engineering and the history of military aviation.

How to use it

This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly. Paint and glue are needed to complete the model. Use plastic cement to join the parts and modelling tools to carefully remove them from the sprues. Pay special attention to the details of the airframe and the markings. Display your completed F-20 Tigershark model with pride.
