Steffen Arndt has built the AFV Club 1:48 scale F-5E in the very exotic markings of an Ethiopian machine from the Ogaden War between Somalia and Ethiopia. Here are some pictures of the finished model.

Hi Steffen
Nice!

It really does cry out for a vignette with suitable figures and equipment to underline how exotic the subject is.
All the best

Nice build, Steffen. Nice with some Exotic camouflage schemes. I have a similar kit that will (one day) be an aggressor.
Thanks for sharing

Thanky for your kind comment Jesper!
I am a bit jealous about the great welcome J-L gets for his Zero-Double (posted at the same date) .. but o.k it is well deserved

cheers
