Hi-Decal F-5E/F Tiger II / Azarakhsh (72-052 & 48-016) - 1:48 & 1:72 Hi-Decal Line

 F-5E/F Tiger II / Azarakhsh (72-052 & 48-016)

1:48 & 1:72 Hi-Decal Line

 

 

There are quite a few F-5E/F models out there, however the decal options in the kits tend to be pretty standard. If you want something a little different the Hi-Decal have a sheet out in 1/72 & 1/48 fro Iranian operated aircraft.

 

The options on the sheet are;

 

1. Islamic Iranian Air Force 3-7059, 21 TFS, TFB.2 Tabriz, 1985 - credited with at least 3 kills during the Iran-Iraq war, Asia Minor camouflage
2. IIAF 3-7301, 21 TFS, TFB.2 Tabriz, 2010 - with eagle head and diving eagle on fin, Asia Minor camouflage
3. IIAF F-5F Tiger II 3-7155, 43 TFS, TFB.4 Vahdati, 2010 - with Tigerhead and diving eagle on fin, Asia Minor camouflage
4. IIAF F-5E Azarakhsh 3-7161, 41 TFS, TFB.4 Vahdati, 2010 - with yellow shark tail art and overall dark green camouflage 

 

 

The sheets provide all the national markings as well as stencils for each option. Registration, sharpness and colour density are all good, with a thin gloss carrier film cut close to the printed areas.  

 

Recommended for your next Tiger II build if you like a little something different to the kit options.
