AFV-Club 1/148 Northrop RF-5E Tigereye, #48105. This is a out of the box build. The construction is straight-forward without any hassle, except the front part, nose to canopy area needed some fit readjustment and putty was needed. The rest is a breeze.

I use Mr.Color C-11, C-308, C-338 for the three tone camo to represent TUDM 80's era camo scheme. I use pre-shade and post-shade technique to enhance the shading effect. All the camo is airbrushed free hand. For the panel lines I use Tamiya Panel Line Accent Grey. Then a solid flat coat of C-182. For the decal, it is already included in the model kit. No after-market is needed if you going for TUDM marking. Thanks for viewing!

Happy MERDEKA!
