Completed Build: 1/144 South Vietnamese F-5 Dropping Napalm

[Rigged72]

Just wrapped up a dynamic 1/144 scale build of a South Vietnamese F-5 in action, releasing napalm over the battlefield. The kit is from Revell, and I used aftermarket detail parts from Hero Models to bring out the best in this small-scale jet.

Build Details:
Kit: Revell 1/144 F-5
Aftermarket Parts: Detail upgrades from Hero Models, focusing on the cockpit and weapons for extra realism.
Scene: The aircraft is posed mid-flight, with custom-built napalm bombs and a dynamic drop effect.
Weathering: Subtle weathering applied to reflect the harsh operational conditions in Vietnam.
This project was a mix of fun and challenge, especially working on the napalm drop effect at such a small scale. The Hero Models parts really made the difference in elevating the overall detail. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions about the build!
