Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter (358 pcs)

The Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter is a light combat aircraft, which was developed in the 1960s by the American company Northrop Corporation. It was put into service in 1964. The F-5A was a popular export model and gained worldwide recognition. Its main features are maneuverability, ease of operation and a relatively low operating price. This aircraft played an important role in many armed conflicts and served as a platform for pilot training. Between 1966 and 1972, Norway purchased a total of 108 F-5 aircraft in various versions. These aircraft were in service with the Air Force for almost 35 years and underwent numerous modernization programmes over the years. Squadron 336 at Rygge Air Base was the last unit to use the F-5, and the aircraft were withdrawn from active service in 2000.

With 358 COBI building blocks, you can build an F-5 Freedom Fighter in the beautiful colors of the Luftforsvaret (Royal Norwegian Air Force).
