  Indonesia Independence Day 

 

      
There is F-5E Tiger III from AFV kit that can built straight away without modification to represent an F-5E TNI AU. But at the time I started the project the kit hasn't available yet.

So from the basic kit I added dorsal fin from pla card and dorsal antenna stole from old monogram kit. The rest of the construction was just routine. The paints are form automotive lacquer base paint. Mixed to matched FS color provided by Alex Sidharta. Painted straight away to the plastic without any basic color. Then the decal as usually a custom made. Latter I added shark mouth to the centerline drop tank.

Thank you.
