Freedom 18016 ROCAF AT-3B Two Seat Ground Attack Aircraft 1/48

Freedom 18016 ROCAF AT-3B Two Seat Ground Attack Aircraft 1/48 is an exceptionally detailed plastic model kit that enables the faithful recreation of the two-seat AT-3B advanced trainer and light attack aircraft, manufactured by the Taiwanese Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC). The model is designed in the popular 1/48 scale, which allows for precise rendering of details and provides an excellent balance between size and the amount of available detailing.

The AT-3B is an upgraded version of the AT-3A aircraft developed for the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) for pilot training and combat support roles. The improved AT-3B design was introduced in the early 1990s and features an increased range (thanks to larger fuel tanks), modern avionics, and additional safety systems such as fire protection. The AT-3B can carry a range of external weapons on its wing hardpoints, allowing it to perform both training and light close air support missions. Aircraft of this type have been operated primarily from the 1980s up to the present day in countries such as Taiwan, the Philippines, and Thailand.
