The ESCI kits, no 9032, were issued in 1988. They are very good, enabling you also to make the Dutch NF-5 version, this version have a different nose strut and two large Flare pods on the rear of the tail section. Also, you get the decals for a Dutch AF aircraft.

The following was done on the models of both the NF-5A and the NF-5B:
1- the exhaust pipes and rear fuselage was opened up
2- nose wheel strut was refined by making new one.
3- the cockpit interior was more detailed

For the NF-5B two seater, I also made the canopy mechanism between the two canopies. 

The kits result in a very good representation of the real thing.
The Modeldecal set 20 was used. The roundel colour of the kit decals are not correct, so replace them! You can also use various Dutch Decal sets for the NF-5. 

The NF-5A was finished in a newer grey scheme II with FS 36118, FS 36270 and FS3 6375 for the lower surfaces. This is similar to the F-16 scheme..

The NF-5A aircraft is "K-3045" of 315 squadron.
. 
The NF-5B "K-4009", is finished in the older scheme with colours of RAL 6014, 7012. The lower surfaces were originally light grey RAL 7001, later on light aluminum and finally FS 36375. Markings are of 314 squadron.
