    This is a 1/48 Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter Plastic Jet Aircraft Kit.

Prototype Information: Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter
  The F-5A Freedom Fighter was developed by Northrop in the 1950's as a
  lightweight supersonic fighter aircraft.  Despite outstanding performance for
  such a small airframe, the F-5 was not purchased in large quantities by the
  US, but it proved popular on the export market being much cheaper and simpler
  than other contemporaries such as the F-104 Starfighter and F-4 Phantom.
