Niels Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 South Vietnam: 2 x "97163" in white (Standard SEA camo with checkerboard and NMF tip-tanks) Greece: 2 x "97164" in black (Standard SEA camo or earlier NMF with orange panels) Norway: 2 x "106" in black ( NMF with mid grey recce nose and forward fuselage) Canada: 2 x "116712" in black (434 Sqn in camouflage) Why 2 of each of these? Not sure I follow the thought behind? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diego Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Why 2 of each of these? Not sure I follow the thought behind? you need two decals: 1 for the left and one for the right side of the tail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diego Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Diego The CF-5A recconnaissance version was not only tail number 712 from 434 Squadron. All CF-5 squadrons flew the recce nose (419, 433, and 434), and any tail number could have flown it. No requirement to include specific tail numbers for the Canadian version. ALF Hi Alf, Thanks for these data I proposed the 434 Sqn, as there are already all the markings necessary (like tail band, etc) on Kinetic's F-5A decal sheet. Kinetic will therefore only need to add the small serial on an additional decal sheet - and I also had a photo reference for this a/c with RF nose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 you need two decals: 1 for the left and one for the right side of the tail :rolleyes:/> Should have caught that one - thanks Diego :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I would really welcome a 48th RF-5A, especially since Canada operated them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seafuryfb Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If you are looking for the clear resin rece nose there is a possibility of some left for sale, as they were made for uncle bills hobby in Calgary . I may take awhile to obtain them, unless you're going to be in Calgary at model contest and shows in the next few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Page 24 and 28 show the side console layout on the A/R with the camera controls. Page 105 (section 21 in the manual) talks about the recon system itself and the specific displays. http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/aircraft/usa/northrop/f-5tigerii/4063e005-205a-1northropcf-5afreedomfighteraircraftoperatinginstructions.html#download That link requires you to register with Avialogs, in order to download the file.

jenshb Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The configuration for the RF-5E nose is different from the RF-5A, so no good. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
