Here she is done...

Northrop-Grumman F/A-20C Tigershark, VMFA-212 US Marines, MCAS Iwakuni, 2004

Hasegawa 1/72 scale

The Northrop F-20 Tigershark was a light fighter designed as a further development of the company's F-5E Tiger II, and was mainly designed and built under the US DoD "FX" program. However, policy changes under the Reagan administration meant that the F-20 had to compete against advanced USAF front-line fighters such as the F-16 in the international market that the Tigershark was designed for. The program, now entirely privately funded was nearly cancelled in 1986, but was saved by a purchase from the U.S. Marines, who had just been denied purchases of the Navy's new "teen series" F/A-18 fighter, initially proposed to be used by both services. The same thing had happened with the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, famous for its appearance in "Top Gun". The Marines order substantially upgraded the base F-20, equipping it with larger control surfaces, ECM equipment, twin-wheel front gear and other modifications. The "F/A-20" as it was designated, could serve in multiple roles and operate from both aircraft carriers and land bases. USMC squadrons started receiving the aircraft from 1987, and they were painted in a 3-tone grey low-visibility paint scheme similar to the services AV-8B Harrier IIs.













Thanks everyone for the support on my first build on this forum!

That certainly looks one MEAN machine, and so very believable too.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
