this is an old Revell 1/144 F-5E Tiger II i built over 10 years ago, as it was one of my first 1/144 models it didnt came out so well.
but the old model was still in a decent and repairable condition, so i fixed it up a little and repainted in the colors of Shin Kazama's F-5E from the Anime "Area 88"
decals were sourced from the spares box, the unicorn decal was DIY.

i have a spare unbuilt revell F-14A Tomcat in the stash, and im thinking of building it as Mickey Simon's F-14, also Area 88.
i still have some playboy bunny decals for the tail from another revell kit (black tomcat)

You've just inspired an F-5E whif, Nils. Nothing to do with your build, just a combination of a couple of things in your post.

nice one Nils,  any chance of a better look at the tail?

take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.
