1/32 FT-5 Training
Trumpeter 1/32 FT-5 Trainer is a plastic kit of the Chinese two-seat jet trainer. The real aircraft is derived from the J-5 fighter. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The FT-5 is a two-seat trainer developed and built in China by the Chengdu factory on the basis of the J-5 fighter, the Chinese licence-built MiG-17F. It combines the J-5A fuselage with the two-seat student and instructor cockpit of the MiG-15UTI. Designated JJ-5 in China, it was built from 1968 to 1986 in more than a thousand examples and widely used by the People's Liberation Army Air Force; FT-5 is the export designation.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale presents an aircraft from the first generation of jets at a size where the two tandem cockpits and the swept wing with its wing fences come across well. The finished model complements a collection of the MiG-15/MiG-17 family or of the Chinese air arm.
The two-seat cockpit under the glazing deserves careful painting in this scale, as it remains clearly visible on the finished model. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: China. Period: Cold War, Present day.
