Italeri 2681S 1/48 F-5E Lightning Reconnaissance Kit  [IT-2681S]

Scale Study of the F-5E Lightning

The Italeri 2681S - 1/48 F-5E Lightning WWII model kit recreates the distinctive twin-boom design of the Lockheed reconnaissance fighter. Modelers will recognise the lineage from the P-38J and P-38L while building a faithful miniature of the high-altitude photographic aircraft.

With an assembled wingspan near 24 cm, the kit reflects the real proportions and includes finely moulded components that suggest the twin Allison V engines and their counter-rotating propellers. The parts set also represents the aircraft's camera stations, matching the six-camera reconnaissance configuration used in service.
