This
kit represents one of the F-5Bs operated by the 1º/1º Grupo de Caça
(Fighter Group) at Base Aerea de Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz Air Base) in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1985. It's an out-of-the-box built, and I must say,
an easy one, thanks to Classic Airframes. All parts came together nicely.
The paint is from Humbrol and the decals from FCM sheet 48 - 33.

This
color scheme was used when they first arrived in 1975, but later they were
painted grey.
Some
of these jets can still be seen displayed in museums or on pedestals in front of
airbases.
