i was bored on a sunday afternoon like today, and i still havent figured out what color to use on the "Fishplate" or what landing gear on the Adonis (junkyard GB)

so just to keep me busy, i decided to repaint my old Grand Duke of Luxemburg Air Force F-5EM, and downgrade it to the standard F-5E.
i removed all the external arms and the sensor under the nose. then i replaced the green/brown camo with a 2-tone grey.
the decals are custom made (roundels and serial 058) and spares from a 1/72 mastercraft F-16D (witch im modifying into a F-16B MLU). the model is an Airfix F-5E, sidewinders are spares from an Italeri F-16A kit and the bombs are 250lb spares from a heller Alfa Jet.

honnestly, i think its an improvement  -_-

here's before (pics taken 2.5 years ago)





and seen in the attached images is the after  :thumbsup:
