Historical background

The Northrop F-5E Tiger II is an American light fighter aircraft which first took to the skies in the early 1970s during the Cold War era. It served with the US Air Force, US Navy, and also with the air forces of many countries worldwide, such as Switzerland, Iran, Thailand, Chile, and the Republic of Korea. Used both as a fighter and an advanced trainer, it also became famous as an adversary aircraft in training missions for fighter pilots ("aggressor squadron"). The engine exhaust nozzles are one of the most visually important elements of this fighter, and upgrading this detail greatly enhances the realism of the finished model.
