This is the F-5E "IIAF Golden Crown" IIAF 1970s (with decals for No1. to No.8 planes) in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.

The F-5E Tiger II flown by the Imperial Iranian Air Force’s “Golden Crown” aerobatic team in the 1970s showcased a remarkable fusion of frontline fighter capability and precision demonstration flying. Unlike many display teams that used trainers or lighter jets, the Golden Crown flew operational F-5Es—compact supersonic fighters with excellent thrust-to-weight ratios and agility that rivaled much larger aircraft. Adorned in striking blue and gold livery, these jets performed daring maneuvers that highlighted the F-5E’s high roll rate and acceleration, setting them apart from typical Western or Eastern bloc aerobatic displays. This combination of combat readiness and showmanship turned the IIAF’s performances into vivid demonstrations of both national pride and cutting-edge tactical prowess.
