Continuing with Black Box's 1/32 sets is this one for the Hasegawa F-5E Tiger II. This must rank as the largest set that Black Box produces. There is so much stuff in the set that the container was stapled shut to keep the parts from bursting out of the plastic box. If you compare this with the 1/48 set, you'll see that they are quite similar, only differing in scale.

Like the 1/48 set, you do need to stretch some sprue for the canopy actuating mechanism. There are also more separate parts that are combined in the smaller scale set, however, it is quite a super looking construct and one that you really should have when you get ready to do your next Hasegawa 1/32 F-5E.
