So the F-5B entered service
with the FAB in 1975 to serve as a trainer for the F-5E´s of 1º GAvCa in
Santa Cruz AB. This specific aircraft was flown by the Brazilian F1 pilot Ayrton
Senna and in his honor his name was painted on the fuselage.

The kit is the old Revell/Esci
in 1/72 scale, a very good kit with fine details and accurate, I just added
the True Details resin seats and little details such as ejection handles,
hydraulics and the VHF antennae.
To paint the vietna
camouflage I used automotive paints for models of pterocolors (produced here in
Brazil), the decals are RAF decals of Mr Rafael.
I finished it with a
matt coat and the weathering was done with pastels and a wash of oil paint.
In memory of Ayrton
Senna.
