There is a quote in Gen. Yeager's Autobiography that says he considered the Northrup F-20 Tigershark to be 'the finest fighter' he has ever flown.  After reading that statement, the wheels in my noggin started turning and then it hit me, 'What if Northrup got Chuck Yeager as one of the F-20 demonstration pilots?'  I started with the good ol' 1/72 Hasegawa F-20 kit, robbed a Italeri F-5A of its gunbarrels, snagged some decals for Chuck's 'Glamorous Glen III' and just had a bit of fun with the project.  The stand is from an old die-cast model with the F-20's centerline pylon glued on top, thus making a great way to display the kit.
