  Happy Merdeka!     Malaysia National Day 2006

 

The macchi as they are known in Malaysia was purchased in the early 80's. They were used as lead in trainers for then the F-5s and Skyhawks.

They were based in Kuantan Malaysia. Macchi also flew on strike and attack duties. Today they are moved to Butterworth and act as lead in to the Migs and all analog based fighters.

The kit is the famous Ferms offering. Lovely kit I used the Eduard Photo-Etch kit as well with VFA production decals. Paint was Tamiya acrylics Dark Green and Dark Yellow with the underside Gunze match of Camo grey.

Happy Merdeka!
