Lockheed F5C Lightning

Academy kit with new nose section 

The F-5 Photo version were based on the P-38G and P-38J models. It was the most important PR aircraft of the Second World War. It could carry a wide variety of cameras, with some aircraft carrying up to six cameras. From the F-5C-1 onwards, the majority of F-5 Photo Lightnings were conversions rather than purpose built. 128 F-5C-1s were converted from the P-38J-5.
