Freedom Tiger
Sleek and compact, the twin-engine fighter developed by Northrop gave many countries access to modern supersonic technology. Modernized F-5Es fly under different designations in the air forces of several countries to this day, although the origins of the type can be traced back to the mid-1950s.

The Kbely F-5
The Aviation Museum of the Military Historical Institute located in Kbely focuses on building a collection of aircraft flown by Czechoslovak and Czech pilots. Beyond that focus, there are also foreign aircraft in the collection, of which the Northrop F-5E Tiger II probably has the most complicated history. In the past, only a few insiders knew about its existence in Czechoslovakia.

INTERVIEW WITH PETR JEZEK
Petr Jezek, 46, is an aircraft restorer. Aircraft are his lifelong passion and hobby. Between 2016 and the end of 2023, he worked for Ceska Aviaticka located at Kbely in Prague, where he was involved in the restoration of historic aircraft. Over the last year, and along with his colleague Zdenek Dvorak, he worked on the museum’s American Northrop F-5E Tiger II. He left the company at the end of 2023 and has been working for the Military Historical Institute of the Kbely museum. Besides aircraft, he also has a soft spot for cars manufactured by Saab.

Tigers in Gioia del Colle
Thirty-five years after the Tigers last met in Italy at the base in Camari, Gruppo XII,, they again hosted the annual NATO Tiger Meet, this time armed with Eurofighters. This is part of the historic 36° Stormo, the 36th Wing, whose history dates back to just before the Second World War, when it was established at Milan on February 1st, 1938. A total of 21 squadrons from 14 countries participated in this year's NTM with a total of 67 combat aircraft, 9 helicopters and 4 support machines, namely KC-130J and KC-767 aircraft, AWACS from the 1st NATO Squadron out of Geilenkirchen, and a GFD Learjet for the simulation of threats in the framework of radio electronic warfare. Here, we take a look a the most interesting participants in the following photo report.

Air War in Ukraine - Demise of Giants
Beriev A-50, Ilyushin Il-22M, and Il-76M. These are three large aircraft that the Russian Air and Space Forces lost during the period covered by the current continuation of articles on the air war over Ukraine. The Il-22M, in the middle of these, managed to land at a base, but its damages are so extensive that it won't return to the air.

How to Work with 3D Prints in Modeling
In recent years, 3D printing has gained widespread popularity in the modeling industry, particularly for accessory production. A few years ago Eduard, too, embraced this technology, gradually replacing traditional casting methods with direct printing, constituting approximately 80% of our Brassin production.
