Northrop F-20A Tigershark


The Northrop F-20 Tigershark (initially F-5G) is a prototype light fighter, designed and built by Northrop. Its development began in 1975 as a further evolution of Northrop's F-5E Tiger II, featuring a new engine that greatly improved overall performance, and a modern avionics suite including a powerful and flexible radar. Compared with the F-5E, the F-20 was much faster, gained beyond-visual-range air-to-air capability, and had a full suite of air-to-ground modes capable of utilizing most U.S. weapons. With these improved capabilities, the F-20 became competitive with contemporary fighter designs such as the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, but was much less expensive to purchase and operate.

Author's notes

Took me quite a month to finish cuz of school, but anyways have fun with it.


Feel free to modify it however you want, I would like to see it hehehe. Anyways thanks for upvoting. And btw, if you notice it has ReinMCDeer style, that's because I based it on his builds. I got inspired from him and NewWorldAerospace too
