Northrop F-5A


At the 2014 08-Open there will be a theme category again. This time it is Africa, so I decided to make a couple of quick builds just to promote this. I found that I had an old Airfix bag of the F-5A that would do for this.
(Model finished 2013)



As it turned out one of the exhausts and both main wheels were missing. That was one of the disadvantages with the bagged kits of the era. A little hole in the bag and pieces would be lost. But I found some old Airfix wheels that I could use and scratched a new exhaust out of an old pen.





The decals for a Botswana AF plane came from MAV in South Africa. For a quick out of the box build I am rather pleased with the result.
