It's been a while since I last posted here. So here's my latest build.
Converted from the AFV Club Chilean F-5E kit with scratchbuilt instrument panel and Wolfpack ejection seat. Nav lights were replaced with clear parts from Wave Option, a brand which specialises in detailing parts for Gundam kits. Siam Scale decals used to replicate an F-5S operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force 149 Squadron "Shikra". This squadron is currently in the process of transitioning to the F-15SG Strike Eagle. Comments and critique most welcome. Hope you enjoy the photos!                  |

Many thanks for the kind words, guys.
@musangpulut: Yup. I used Gunze. Colours were 308 for the nose and undersides, 305 for the mid and rear upper fuselage and 307 for the radome and vertical stabaliser. @an_dy: I'm not part of Spruecutters. Just a regular contributor.  |
