The 1/48 Revell/Monogram F-5E kit dating from 1999. A classic raised panel line kit that I put a lot of effort into. A new resin cockpit from Black Box, complete rework of the panel line, engine detail done with scratches (as visible through the open aux intake ports), detailed the exhausts and engine nozzles, and rebuilt the nose gear.
The model was finished with TwoBobs 48-014 decals using the VFC-113 “Desert Cats” markings
