The is the first release from Twobobs for the  aggressor aircraft from the 26th Aggressor Squadron of Clark AFB, Philippines.  This sheet includes 6 different F-5E and  you get enough markings to build 5 aircraft.

With the recent release of the AFV Club F-5E kit, you now have the decals and the kit to make these great looking F-5E aggressor aircraft.

The six aircraft on this sheet include the Silver/New Blue/Old Blue/Snake/Old Ghost/Old Lizard camo schemes.

The aircraft are the following:

  • F-5E, USAF S/N 72-1389 with the 26th AGRS Squadron in 1983.  The camo scheme is the "Silver" scheme.

  • F-5E, USAF S/N 75-01574 with the 26th AGRS Squadron in 1984.  The camo scheme is the "New Blue" scheme.

This is a great sheet with a fantastic selection of aggressor aircraft.......now you have to decide which to build first.

I would like to thank Twobobs for this review sample.
