Malaysia National Day

 

      

Always wanted to tackle this project based on a real incident of a Malaysian F-5 which aborted take off with max load and landed in a paddy field at the end of the runway. The pilot ejected safely without any major issues or injuries.

I used a old 1/48 Monogram F-5E and Puszer Aneh production Generic Malaysian decals. The water bits were achieved with railway scenic "real water". Overall it was a fun but expensive project as the resin water was costly. 

Hope you like it....Happy Merdeka 2015.
