mitchem Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 AFV Club F-5F modified with fin fillet, blade aerial and shark nose sourced from their F-5E Tiger version. Various paints used from a variety of manufacturers. Aztec decals used for the markings (although I opted to paint the tiger stripes by making stencils based on the decals) Enjoyed the build more than the painting, but that's par for the course 🙂 Thanks for looking.

Todders Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 That looks very nice. When I see AFV Club for a kit manufacturer I always think of armor kits but it looks like they do a pretty good job with aircraft as well. The colors look great too by the way.
