F-5E 2000 Tiger with Stripes

Posted by allan on Monday, October 12, 2015 12:38 AM

Heres a 1/72 F-5E 2000 I made several years ago. Its the Mini Hobby kit. Bought it for the paint scheme: tiger stripes on a Tiger!

Kit wasnt very good. Needed to fill in the exaggerated panel lines with superglue and rescribed the whole plane. Added upgrades to the cockpit too. Thankfully the decals went on well. But you'd have to paint on the tiger scheme.

Comments most welcome.

I always loved the Tiger paint scheme. Decals or paint it took some serious patience to pull that one off. I know I would have flipped out trying to do that. So nicely done. Great work.
