  This is the F-5F M (M for Modernized) used by FAB (Brazilian Air Force). The F5F M is a multi-role 4th generation fighter with BVR capacity. I decided to build this one because of its differences from the original F5-F, for instance, the longer radome, absence of guns and the interception light on the starboard side. This model is shown with a pair of Brazilian made SMK 83 guided free-fall bombs.

  The longer radome accomodates the bigger and more powerfull  GrifoF/BR radar. The removal of guns was due to the relocation of the radar further to the back thus keeping the length of the nose unaltered. An interesting addition is the side light for night interception.

  This was an out-of-the-box built with only a couple of add-ons (side light and fuel probe), some inscribbing for better fuselage details and the new radome. The decals are FCM sheet 48 33 and the painting done with Model Master.
