The Nanchang Q-5 (Chinese: ?-5; pinyin: Qiang-5; NATO reporting name: Fantan), also known as the A-5 in its export versions, is a 1960s-design Chinese-built single-seat, twin jet engine ground-attack aircraft based on the Shenyang J-6 [WHICH IS A VIRTUAL COPY OF A RUSSIAN MIG 19]. The aircraft is primarily used for close air support. This item is manufactured by "D-4" as a "puzzle model" and is designed, we suppose, to be put together and taken apart over and over? But being the only model of this aircraft we have ever seen in 1/144 scale, we offer it as a serious scale model to be built by skilled hobbyists who have the tools and materials to give it justice. We recommend you acquire some Squadron Putty or equivalent. One tube will last for years for a busy 1/144 model kit builder. The kit is very nicely made and includes a stand. Another interesting feature is that the landing gear parts are molded in CLEAR plastic which we've never seen before, and serves to enhance the appearance of the model on its stand. Of course you can paint the landing gear if you wish. We provide Chinese decals for the kits from Y-Kraft in Japan. Some kit reviews indicate there are no landing gear doors provided, so we include some sheet styrene plastic for creating the landing gear doors for the kits. Note: This kit is not in its original box. It's bagged with the "box artwork" The Nanchang Q-5 (Chinese: ?-5; pinyin: Qiang-5; NATO reporting name: Fantan), also known as the A-5 in its export versions, is a 1960s-design Chinese-built single-seat, twin jet engine ground-attack aircraft based on the Shenyang J-6.
