  "1/72 Hasegawa F-20 Tigershark in What-if Czech Markings"

  Our local model club decided to do a what-if build of the Northrop F-20 Tigershark and this is my first rendition. We decided to use the Hasegawa kit in 1/72 scale as it was widely available , inexpensive and really easy to build. The emphasis of this build was to see how many different paint schemes we could come up with. The inspiration for this scheme came from a Czech SU-25 which had the front of the plane painted to resemble a shark.

  The shark mouth and Czech markings were taken from a Mini Print Decals sheet and the gills were hand painted. The tiger stripes were made by scanning a 1/48th Italian Tigermeet decal sheet and sending it to Photoshop where it was cleaned up and printed at 66% to reduce it to 1/72 scale.

  The model was detailed with a True Details F-5 seat, Hasegawa pilot and the excellent Aires GE F404 exhaust nozzle. This is my first ARC submission and I hope you like it.
