This is a representation of an F5 - B in service with the Brazilian Airforce - FAB - circa 1985.The model was built as it came, only with the addition of the dorsal fin and the bombs. The F5-B were decomissioned in 1996 and after reconditioning and put up for sale.

It's an easy build and the result is quite pleasing.

Classic airframes offers the option for building the Brazilian F5-B but I was not able to find that particular issue for sale. I built my model using the 4133 kit and FCM's 48/33 decal sheet.
