brinjal Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I'm currently doing an F5E Tiger in Malaysian Air Force scheme. But I don't really know what color I should paint the external fuel tanks, both on the wings and underbelly. Am I safe to assume that it usually follows whatever paint scheme that the aircraft was having? for example i'm doing an early 80s RMAF F5E, it was in silver color except the anti glare panel. So the drop tanks, and for the same purpose, the bomb pylons and racks, are all also silver? thanks Edited June 17, 2022 by brinjal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 It looks like silver on this photo: https://www.airliners.net/photo/Malaysia-Air-Force/Northrop-F-5E-Tiger-II/1255175 Some more here: https://www.the-northrop-f-5-enthusiast-page.info/AirForces/MalaysiaAF.html Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brinjal Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Thanks Andre @Hookthat particular picture also helped me decide to include all 3 fuel tanks. Cos before that i never see any picture of RMAF tigers with 3 fuel tanks. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
