seventys to the late eighties. A total of two flying squadrons were formed namely 11 and 12 Squadron based in Butterworth, Malaysia.

The kit is the famous Hasegawa offering. I re scribed the lines and use the Verlinden cockpit set. Finishing was done with
Model Master and Gunze paints. The decals are a mix batch taken from various sources and the name of the pilot was custom printed by me.
Overall a pleasing and enjoying build.
Happy MERDEKA!
