This is the F-5N Tiger II 761572 VMFT-401 US Marines Yuma 2018 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The F-5N Tiger II 761572, operated by VMFT-401 “Snipers” of the U.S. Marines at Yuma in 2018, is a standout among adversary aircraft for its dedicated role as a professional “bad guy.” Unlike frontline fighters, this F-5N was specially modified for dissimilar air combat training, equipped with upgraded avionics to realistically mimic threats ranging from MiGs to modern flankers. Its lightweight airframe and high maneuverability allowed it to challenge pilots flying far more advanced jets, sharpening their skills in dogfights. Dressed in vivid, often menacing camouflage schemes, 761572 exemplified how a classic 1970s design could still uniquely test and prepare pilots for the complexities of modern aerial warfare.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
