Here is some photos of my new built F-5A Kinetic kit in 1/48 with Greek colors <<Aegean Blue scheme>>.  The colors are FS35164 upper surfaces and gloss aluminium for the bottom all from Life Colors acrylic paints.

There are some built problems with the fuselage if you use the kit instructions, but it is easy to finish it.  I did not use any after market detail set I only changed the ejection seat with a Martin Baker MB Mk10L from Heller Mirage 2000 kit in 1/48.

I was waiting for this new Freedom Fighter in 1/48, but there are many things that they had wrong dimensions like the fuel tank for center line, the tip tanks, the launchers for the AIM-9 missiles and the nose...it looks short.

The final look of the kit is ok.
