Singapore Air Force F-5E, 1987
I am using Dream Model printed PE. Not bad...
I don't usually do primer coats, but I did this time using Tamiya medium sea grey...
Gonna try a version of Black Basing...
Using MR.HOBBY AQUEOUS HOBBY COLOR, First color; Light Ghost Grey (FS36375)
Gonna try this stuff...
Kinda sticky and can get stringy if you are not careful. Instead of breaking pieces off of the big black blob, I found it better to pinch off pieces using my fingernails...
Next up. Grey (FS36270)
finally Dark Ghost Grey (FS36320) (With all that putty, the thing feels like it weighs like 4 pounds!)
And the big reveal...
Very few decals, but went on great!
Used Vallejo black wash for the first time.
Calling it done

So I was on a destroyer as part of the USS Missouri battle group in 1987. We stopped in Singapore on our way to the Persian Gulf. It was a great time and when we left, we go a flyover from the RSAF. Not only did we get buzzed by a few F-5Es, but also a couple of Hunters. I have always wanted to do a model of both of them, so 35 years later, here we go...
