goon Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I'm doing this scheme on my AFV Club F-5E. Does anyone have any other pics of this aircraft in this scheme? I'm looking for something that might indicate whether it carries the red stripes on the under side of the wings as well. Thanks for any help, Gareth Edited October 31, 2011 by goon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocman Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hi Gareth, I'm writing from Chile and I have some information to share with you here. The FACH 808 used those red stripes for "aggressor" missions circa 1988. It was a F-5E Tiger II from Aviation Group 7th in "Cerro Moreno" Chilean Air Force base (Brown Hill). Another aircrafts that used the same scheme are 805 and 811. The red stripes are in both sides of the tail and just at the upper surface of the wing. The wing stripes have a trapezoid shape. I made 1/72 Heller F-5E Tiger II, in fact the FACH 808 with red stripes. You can see here I will colect some images to share here in order to help in your project. I have some images from the same session of the image that you show here, in fact the shots was taken from a Hawker Hunter. Greetings from Chile!!!

goon Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi Shocman, and welcome to Britmodeller. Thank you for confirming the layout of the stripes, I look forward to seeing your pictures. I have found your 1/72 build whilst googling for references, and made good use of the pictures in deciding how to mark my F-5 Cheers, Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocman Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi Gareth, Thanks for your words, I hope to share some of my humble models here in Britmodellers. It's good to hear that the information was good for you. This is the F-5E tiger II FACH 808 in the same photo secuence making a turn and showing the under side of wings. The FACH 808, have a very uncommon record, it was one of the few aircraft in the Chilean Air Force that shot down an... another F-5E Tiger II. It was in 1981 and the pilot put the switch in Gun instead Camera Gun, so during a dogfight practice the pilot pull the trigger and real ammo got fired against the another F-5E so the plane was damaged and pilot ejected, curiously the aircraft glided various kilometers before wreck. I will made some upper view of the F-5E with the detail of the wings stripes. Greetings from Chile!!! Antonio Segovia "Shocman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goon Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Many thanks for the picture Anontio, and the accompanying story. It adds a nice depth to the subject I'm modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocman Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi Gareth, my apologies for my delay to post more info. Here I show in a simple upper view the form of the stripes. The tail view. I hope these schemes will serve to clarify the locations and shapes of the stripes, in the F-5E bort number 808, because the stripes in 811 are not equal. Merry Christmas for you and your relatives.

goon Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi Lucas, I don't have the new AFV kit I'm afraid. My model is based on the original US aggressor release. Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
