Taiwanese F-2B

Here's a 1/72 Hasegawa F-2B done up for use by the Taiwanese Air Force.  I picked up this kit earlier this year with a few ideas on what to do with it, but wasn't sure how to proceed.  I then found pics of the Ching-Kuo that I'd forgotten about and thought this thing might look pretty good as a larger compliment to the IDF.  Also, with this in service, the Taiwanese would operate three developments of the same plane (F-16, IDF, and F-2).

Since it's designed to be an anti-shipping platform for the Japanese, I put Harpoons on it for the Taiwanese.  For air-to-air, I put on some Japanese weapons, as I figure it'd be easier to just purchase Japanese weapons than take the time to make TC-1's and TC-2's work on it.

Decals came from that really useful, really ancient Microscale F-5 set.

More pics are here.
