This is the second release from Twobobs for the aggressor aircraft from the 26th Aggressor Squadron of Clark AFB, Philippines.  This sheet includes 6 different F-5E and you get enough markings to build 5 aircraft.

With the recent release of the AFV Club F-5E kit, you now have the decals and the kit to make these great looking F-5E aggressor aircraft.

The five aircraft on this sheet include the Silver/VNAF/Snake/Old Ghost camo schemes.

The aircraft are the following:

  • F-5E, USAF S/N 75-0615 with the 26th AGRS Squadron.  The camo scheme is the "Silver" scheme.

  • F-5E, USAF S/N 75-01561 with the 26th AGRS Squadron.  The camo scheme is the "VNAF" scheme.

  • F-5E, USAF S/N 75-0612 with the 26th AGRS Squadron.  The camo scheme is the "Snake" scheme.

  • F-5E, USAF S/N 75-0614 with the 26th AGRS Squadron.  The camo scheme is the "Silver" scheme.

  • F-5E, USAF S/N 75-0616 with the 26th AGRS Squadron in 1979.  The camo scheme is the "Old Ghost" scheme.

The instructions are clear and include 4 views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet and 2 insert decal sheets.  Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics.

References for this sheet were provided by former USAF pilot Don Logan, so you know the references were well done and very extensive.  Thanks also goes out to Levi for his extensive catalog of reference photos.

Another great F-5 Aggressor sheet from Twobobs and enough decals to build all 5 aircraft, but my favorite is the VNAF Green/Brown/Green camo scheme.

I would like to thank Twobobs for this product sample.

This sheet is available through the Twobobs website and select US Hobby Shops.  Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.
