For the "Canadian wings group build" we have a Classic Airframes F-5A "modified" to a CF-5A .

Add ons are, the wrong ejection seat.  The kit comes with some American seat which is not used for Canadair built airframes.  I could not find anything suitable, so I used a RUSSIAN ejection seat I had laying about.  I filed off a couple things that did not look right and viola, close enough.
Also added a Belcher Bits tail hook.

The most important add on is of course the Arrow graphics decals to represent a 419 squadron special.
