Alex Sidharta Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi, I built this OOB, only used local-printed Indonesian AF decal. This is a great kit and nothing to complain about. I used Chilean box to make IdAF version. Thanks for looking Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tobiK Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Very nice, good job! Indonesian aircrafts are seldom to see as a model. I thought that camo scheme just consists of 2 colors like the F-16 but I see 3 colors there!? Is it special for the F-5E? can you tell us to which squadron it belonged and where it was stationed?

Thanks !. It is painted in wraparound 3 colors, similar to USAF "New Blue" Aggressor Tigers. Our F-16 was also painted in similar camouflage from 1990 - 1996, but now in grey-green camouflage started in 2000. F-5E/F is served in 14th Squadron, Iswahjudi AFB.

Alex Sidharta Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Beautiful Tiger, Alex! Could you please tell me what colors you use for painting? Thanks.... I used Gunze Light Blue, Testors FS 35237 and Flanker Blue Grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

balls47 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Definitely a 3 tone camoflage on the jets in service. IdAF F-5E Cheers, John As the saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yessir, excellent work on this F-5E. The airbrushing is second to none. What jumped out at me is the weathering. It is very subtle, which makes the model. Again, excellent job. Keep up the great work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Oh, I see, Iswahjudi is not so far from Surakarta, Jawa timur. I remember, when I was in Bandung last year and we had prewedding fotoshooting. We went out of Bandung to Lembang, "Lembah Bougenvile Resort" that belongs to a former TNI-AU pilot and you could see pictures from him near T-38 (training in USA) and TNI-AU F-5. But don't ask me about his name... The scheme you talk about must be the "blue spot scheme", having the same colors, right, like USAF "new blue". Are the F-5 fleet still in service?

You are right, it's about 1,5 hours drive from Surakarta. The color is very similar to USAF "New Blue", but after repainted the colors are a little bit "paler" than the original. And yes, our F-5 fleet is still very much in service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
