Kinetic K48123 CF-5D Freedom Fighter 1/48 is a high-quality plastic model aircraft kit representing the famous two-seat Canadian trainer and fighter, the Canadair CF-5D Freedom Fighter from the Cold War era. The model is produced in a precise 1/48 scale, which perfectly captures the distinctive proportions and details of the real aircraft, used primarily by Canada (Canadian Forces) and the Netherlands (Royal Netherlands Air Force as NF-5).

The CF-5 Freedom Fighter, known in Canadian service as the CF-116, was a licensed version of the American Northrop F-5 fighter. Manufactured by Canadair, it played a key role during the Cold War from the 1960s through the mid-1990s. In Canadian service, the CF-5 was used for advanced pilot training as well as tactical support and reconnaissance missions. It stood out for its lightness, maneuverability, and relatively low operating costs. After being retired from Canadian service in 1995, this type of aircraft continued to serve in other countries' air forces.
