Anyone ever make F-5E Aggressor decals?

[1to1scale]

I am trying to turn my HK F-5E into an aggressor aircraft, but have not had any luck finding decals. I thought TwoBobs made a sheet once but cant find anything on their website. Anyone know of where I can get a sheet, or a partial sheet? I am looking for a USAF 3-blue scheme single seat aircraft, any help would be appreciated. If not available,

I have a set from Profimodeller, just need your addy.

Thank you for the offer Martin, but those appear to be Navy, I am specifically looking for the USAF version. I really do appreciate the offer though!

I see, no problem.

Don't think anyone has ever done any Air Force. Two Bob's once did a sheet with birds from Fallon/Miramar, and there is this one still in print.

my other option is to buy an old Hasegawa kit, but its a lot of money to buy a kit for decals that are probably too old.

Affirmative. One of the earlier Hasegawa boxings had the 527th TFTS markings. Aftermarket 527th TFTS decal options to date - N.A.D.A.

For what it's worth:
The Alconbury F-5Es were early airframes - no shark nose, original (smaller) LERX, early Northrop seat, no VOR/ILS, etc. The baseline Iffy Hawk kit needs some cutting, sanding and backdating-TLC.

VOR/ILS, Northrop Improved Seat were added in 1982. 74-1535 "bort 35"  retained the original "Grape/Old Blue" paint scheme after the refit for a while.



Pre-1982 config:

I guess, looking at these photos, its probably pretty easy to make my own masks for the "35" numbers, the rest seem pretty standard USAF decals.

FS numbers for the "Grape" scheme:

Marking sizes/heights deviate from those specified in T.O. 1-1-4.

527th TFTS, pre-1982:

U.S. AIR FORCE -> 6"
National Star (fuselage/wing) -> 12"
Call Numbers -> 6"
"Bort Number" -> 20" + 1" border
