Thanks for the info Carlos,
didn't know this tip on the latest F-5s used by US.

Thank you indeed.
Always nice to make the models as accurate as possible. it also permitted me to find a good 4-view drawing of the F-20A... who knows???

Boy... it would be great to see a Tigershark! (F-20, or the F-5G)

Embraer made a local upgrade in Brazilians F-5E, called F-5EM, the main upgrade is a avionics made by Israel and new nose (one cannon are remove), look.

Now, this is starting to make things complicated. all these differences for the same "version". I'm sure I'm going to mess up something

The ex-swiss F-5E (reworked and renamed F-5N) entered US service in 2008. Compare the nose and wing root extensions on this picture of a swiss F-5E with these two pictures of US F-5Ns and then to these US F-5E from 2004-2007.

I forgot one user in my list of F-5E/F with fin root extension : Kenya (except maybe the planes bought second-hand from Jordan as those had the regular fin in Jordanian service).

If you want to do a soviet F-5E, (ex-VNAF) here are some pics. There's a video on YouTube (or Liveleak?).

I found some pics (3 out of 72) in my FAB F-5 folder showing some F-5EM with conformal fuel tanks F-16-style. I'm wondering if they're real or photoshopped. I have no idea where I got them from.

Edit 2: I'll replace the fake pics with a link to pictures of a VFC-111 F-5N in the WWII tricolor scheme.

Unhappy Carlos conformal tanks in Brazilian F-5 is a fake. About differences in FAB machines. one batch send in 1975 is originated from South Vietnan order, and is fresh factory, this type served in Rio de Janeiro With fin rudder root, the operated here in Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre in BACO (Canoas Air Base) is a some batchs, the first 50 is fresh factory, but in 80's and eraly 90's FAB buy some second hand F-5 from US Navy surplus, and many used Agressors Schemes, the Rio de Janeiro species before modernization used Vietnan Camo Scheme, and BACO used agressors colors in gray and sand green and after superiority gray...

Woo, the pressure is on.
Tomorrow I'll test the Swiss F-5E with new nose and LERX. The Chilean F-5E with extended rudder is also in the making. Then I can attack the Brazilian F-5EM nose and the really long F-5F nose. Not sure if that will be all done this weekend, but you never know

Oh I forgot the aggressors and the adversary recolors that I should do...
and some T-38 Talons

So by the end of the year...
