Italeri 2681S 1/48 F-5E Lightning Heritage Model  [IT-2681S]

F-5E Lightning Heritage Model in 1/48

The Italeri 2681S - 1/48 F-5E Lightning WWII model kit reproduces the Lockheed reconnaissance aircraft with attention to its twin-boom layout and wartime mission profile. It is a compact project that highlights the F-5E's role adapted from P-38 variants.

Finished wingspan is about 24 cm, maintaining the correct scale proportions. The parts set illustrates the twin Allison V engines and counter-rotating propellers, and the kit reflects the multiple camera installations used for high-altitude reconnaissance operations.
