The is the
second release from Twobobs
for the
aggressor aircraft from the 57th FWW at Nellis AFB. This sheet includes 5
different F-5E and you get enough markings to build all 5 aircraft.
With the recent
release of the AFV Club F-5E kit, you now have the decals and the kit to make

done and very extensive.

desert camo, then this sheet is a must have for you and with the new AFV F-5E
