1to1scale Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 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, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty44 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 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: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 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 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
