Love the action shots sundowner! The F-5 is the only jet I've had the privilege of seeing do a live fire, first with rockets then a gun run back in '93 when my father worked for AETE at CFB Cold Lake. Was really cool and the CF-5 is one of my fav's in Canadian service(well was in service)

Not sure of the FS numbers, but I thankfully I did do a walk-around of this jet before it got repainted. I had a Saints pilot tell me that this scheme was pretty easy to see up high, but if it got under you against a back ground of patchy snow it was lethal! This scheme lasted a few years, and was one of a kind. Kenny at Gatormask is doing up some masks for me now so I can do this sucker in 32nd scale ;0) Fred K.

The lighter grey is 36118 gunship grey; this is used "under". The darker grey is 36081 or the old "engine grey" used on navy helo's. the base light grey is 36295. The scheme is easy, it's the standard air superiority F-5 scheme.

I hope this helps.
