Canadair NF-5A Freedom Fighter

This NF-5 is displayed in the colors of 316 squadron, based at Eindhoven. In the 80's some of the NF-5's from 316 squadron, had a colorfull band on the top of the fuselage. The reason for this is to be recognised during dogfights. These NF-5's were used as an agressor. The K-3072 had and orange centertank as well. These tanks were not as common as the colorfull band.
This Agressor is also equiped with dummy AIM-9 Sidewinders.
I choosed the build the aircraft in this colorscheme because it breaks the usual camouflage paterns.

The colors I used were Vallejo Model Air71017 Russian Green, Vallejo Model Air 052 German Grey, Vallejo Model Air 051 Barely Grey and Vallejo  Model Color 70733 Orange Fluo.

The decals are a mix from the ones that came with this kit and Dutch Decal DD48045. I made some seat belts from masking tape and fuse wire to get some detail in the cockpit.

I will get some better photos and upload those. These were taken duting the spare moments we had some sunshine today.

The inspiration.
