Cold War 50s Challenge Northrop F-5a Tiger

Auto Credit Based on mikoyanster's 50s Cold War Challenge [CANCELLED]

A revisit of my earlier F-5 Tiger model.

The F-5a, according to Wikipedia, first flew in 1959, so I hope it just squeezes into contention on account of that...

Entered into both competitions.

AG 1 for the lights
AG3 to drop the external tank
VTOL up for flaps.

Have fun.
