Saeqeh 80 IRIAF Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force
When I first see this aircraft I thank she was a slim F-17 Hornet but after more research and for my surprise she's a Reverse Engineered Indigenous version based on the Northrop F-5. Based on Bruno's 1/100 model I did this test build and when completed I realize how many mods and adaptions have to make to her. 1.- the overall blue color is darker than the original; 2.- the lateral air intakes must be squared although some Saeqehs have the rounded one. 3.- the nose is a little bit shorter; 4.- re-do and align the central bolt; 5.- construct the landing gear and 6.- put on missiles and central external fuel tank. Until now only point 1 is solved. More WIP on next week. Tigertony100.
