If it's any help, Ian, the brown and dark green are the same colours used in the SEA scheme. Tamiya buff looks to be a pretty close match for Tan Special, and after a few days in desert sunshine there's going to be a million shade variations anyway.
Very smart - just shows what can be done with a terrible old kit like the Hase F-5 if you put the hours in.

Looking very good!

Tat's some very clean paint work!

Looking forward to more,

That's coming along nicely OT. I've had one of these in the stash for longer than I care to remember so it's been interesting seeing your build.

Camo applied but I'm not convinced, I think the green is wrong. I might start over.

Looks good to me.

I like it!

That's too nice a paint job to redo, it looks good to me!

I think that's some excellent paint work. I'd be right proud if it were mine.

Nice paint.

Dude that looks great. In fact that is the scheme my PM Turkish F-5 should have had instead. That scheme rocks.

Thanks for the kind words guys but I decided to change things. The green was all wrong and there was too much over-spray.
Here is the state of play now after changing the green and applying a coat of Klear.


Not my best but will have to do.

Since this was taken I have painted a section of the rear fuselage Aluminium and started work on the wing tip nav lights.
I managed to break one of the very flimsy U\C legs too.

Tonight I'll get the underside painted then start the decalling process.
Time is running out but I may just get her done in time.

Looking good!

Starting to look very sharp. Nice work.

All the best.

That's a good looking scheme, OT - looks hard edged from here did you mask it with blu-tak or tape?
