Felinoid Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I am looking for a schematic and color call out for the F-5 Aggressor scheme known as Mako or Shark, three shade of blue suggesting a shark. I have only seen side views, no top or bottom views. An extensive search on Google has come with lots of side views, no schematics. Any help would be welcome, even pics of a finished model. Post or PM me. Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hi, Are you talking about VFC-111 #121 in the "Fullback" scheme? If so, Twobobs did decals for it in 48th scale. You might try to get a copy of their instructions. HTH, Fred K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evilmedic13 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Go to furball aero designs. They make this scheme too, VFC-111 and have the profiles you want shown. Also, there’s 2 variations. The one pictured above( 2 tone), and a 3 tone on his sheet. Unless, you’re thinking of the F-16 squadron out of Florida known as the Makos.

Zaggy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 And there is a new jet that arrived two weeks back now, in a Hard-edged variation (pic by G. Manley). BTW, the BuNo 105 jet was for CONA, and isn't actually related to the PAK-FA/Mako Scheme... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seawinder Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I've got a copy of the Aftermarket Red Flag Tigers sheet, 48-062, which has a number of different schemes. There's nothing labeled "Mako" or "Shark," but there are two wrap-around schemes with three shades of blue, which they call "Old Blue" and "New Blue," both in use during the 1980s. Old Blue: FS 35414, 35190, 35164 New Blue: FS 35414, 35164, 35109 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

seawinder Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The OP didn't mention branch of service, and I'm currently working on a USAF F-16 aggressor. Just trying to be helpful. Sorry to have offended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just trying to be helpful. Sorry to have offended. You mistook me for someone who gets easily offended. Nothing could be farther from the truth. None of the USAF F-5E schemes were named "Mako" or "Shark", nor did any of the resemble a shark in any way, so it was pretty obvious that it was a USN F-5E/N he requested. Besides, the question had already been answered by others. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your initial response struck me as a bit irritable, but I was probably being over-sensitive. On another topic, I've got a question about USAF aggressor F-16s on which I hope you'll be able to shed some light; but I'll start a new thread. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
