I have the latest repop of the Revellogram 1/48 F-5E.

I would like to find decals to do this bird in Swiss Air Force markings. Just stock, not special schemes.

Internet search has largely led me to makers in/from Switzerland that have discontinued/out of stock.

Thank you.

I have an old Esci F-5 something that came with a vacuformed base and support gear (like a tractor and ground crew). It came with Swiss decals (I believe), but Esci decals from back in the day were not the best.

Any way, this is the kit I have: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/esci-ertl-4079-northrop-aggressor-f-5-and-support-group--947305

Thank you! I had this same kit wayyy back in the day but I did it as an “aggressor” bird.

And you are right; ESCI decals were not that good.

Maybe I’m an oddity, but I’ve always had good luck with original ESCI decals. It’s when their kits have AMT/ERTL boxing’s that the decals tend to be of lower quality in my experience.
