Made of hard plastic and includes stand, this was made for Northrop Corporation to give to customers, dignitaries, etc. This is a high quality model of the F-5G Tigershark. As you can see in the photos, one of the horizontal stabilizers is broken off and missing, the right rocket is missing one of its forward fins, and one of the aft fins, and the left rocket support has a crack that has been glued. Overall appearance of the plane and stand is in excellent shape. Measures aprox. 14 1/2 inches long and the wingspan is aprox. 8 inches. 1:40 scale. This item has been in my family since it was new, when it was given to my Dad who was a Northrop executive. The F-5G was the designation given to an improved version of the F-5E Tiger II to be offered to the export market. The nose was flattened slightly and rounded to enhance stability, which made its nose look somewhat like a shark, thus the name Tigershark. The maiden flight of the Tigershark was on Aug. 30, 1982 . In November of 1982, the F-5G was redesignated the F-20A.
