Hi there, this is my recent build, 1/72 FA-50 from Academy models. Philippine Air Force recently received the first 2 of 12 of these aircraft from Korea Aerospace Industry last November. Since this is
a new aircraft, most of the modification that I've done are based on pictures I've seen
on the web.

The kit is a snap type, easy to build and very minimal sanding needed. Modification I've done was squaring the vertical tail fin and adding a piece of plastic to it to convert it from T-50 to FA-50. I also replaced the wing tip with sidewinder rails, added 4 hardpoints and attached different armaments (sidewinders and harpoons) from Hasegawa weapon set.
