1/72 Nanchang Q-5
Trumpeter 1/72 Nanchang Q-5 is a plastic kit of the Chinese attack aircraft derived from the MiG-19. It contains more than 90 parts and one photo-etched part. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Q-5 was derived from China’s J-6 fighter, the licence-built version of the MiG-19. Development began in the early 1960s and series production in 1969. The original two 30 mm cannon in the nose were later replaced by two 23 mm cannon in the wings; the lengthened fuselage houses an internal weapons bay about 4 m long. The Q-5 family grew into a range of single- and two-seat versions, more than a thousand were built, and the aircraft was exported as the A-5 to countries including North Korea and Pakistan.
According to the manufacturer, the 1/72 kit has more than 90 parts on seven sprues, clear canopy parts and a photo-etched part. The fuselage and wings feature finely engraved panel lines. The box shows a Chinese air force aircraft numbered 20796; the finished model is just under 23 cm long.
The solid nose and side air intakes give the model a distinctly ground-attack character. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
