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

Detailed 1/48 Replica of the F-5E Lightning

The Italeri 2681S - 1/48 F-5E Lightning WWII model kit captures the aircrafts twin-boom silhouette and reconnaissance role in miniature. The design traces back to the P-38J and P-38L development, making this a compact representation of an important photographic platform.

At roughly 24 cm across the wings, the finished model keeps correct proportions and includes moulded parts that depict the twin Allison V engines and their counter-rotating props. The kit layout also references the array of six camera positions used for strategic aerial survey work.
