Rabbit Leader Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Just wondering if anyone can point me to an online reference or particular publication that ties up the Norweigian F-5A serials to their early (1966-72 era) squadron codes? I'm keen to build a 1/72 Esci F-5 in RNoAF colours, however cannot find a suitable combination that I can match with some spare decals I can cobble together. I see that Vingtor once had a dedicated F-5 decal sheet (72-009) however suscept that this is now long out of production and un-obtainable. Cheers and and thanks for looking..

David Womby Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Don't know if it helps but both Microscale and Modeldecal had sheets that included RNoAF F-5s. I can dig them out if it might help. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks for offering to help David. If I’m correct, the Microscale sheet does include one option, however that is for a two seater with a squadron motif on the tail. The Modeldecal sheet has the same / similar decals as my Esci kit so is not exactly what I’m after. Appreciate the post all the same. Cheers..

David Womby Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Maybe do the allover green one! That would be different David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Martin Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Was there not a copied publication called NATO air arms or something that had all that stuff in it in the 70's? Pat Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Martin That sounds very interesting Patrick. This is the first I've heard about such a publication so it would be interesting to hear if anyone else can shed some light as well.

Vingtor Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 There is a newsletter from Warbirds of Norway (No.24) covering Norwegian F-5s and includes a full list of all RNoAF aircraft. http://www.warbirds.no/shop/newsletters.htm Unfortunately the Vingtor Decals 79-009 is no longer available.

Nils Thanks so much Nils, that looks like something I need. I’ll have to get onto google translate to see what I need to do to grab myself a copy. I suspected that your 72-009 sheet is long gone, not sure if you have a scanned copy of the instruction sheet as that would also be most helpful. Cheers..
