Kitty Hawk 1/32 F-5E/F Tiger II / Special Interest Group (SIG) !

I'm losing the will to live given all the Kittyhawk damp squibs. So many promises just seem to fizzle out.

 

Having said that, I still have a space for the 'Streak and 'Flash. And Jaguar.

I have fingers and toes crossed. A lot of good modelers put some serious effort into the research for these things.

With a great big axe on the tail!

I'd like to see pictorial evidence of that.  The axe "belongs" to 332 Sqn (AH-codes when they were using these), whereas the RF-5A(G)s were used by the RNoAF's sole photoreconnaissance unit; 717 Sqn (AZ-codes).

 

I'd love to see a good F-5A family in 1:32 to.

In anticipation of the arrival of the Kitty Hawk 1:32 "F-5E Tiger II" model announced for March 2018, welcome the arrival

at Furball Aero-Desing of this beautiful decal sheet at 1: 32 of the Top Gun US Navy Tiger II !

 

The entire F-5E operational period within the US Navy is covered.

 

Reference: https://www.furballaero-design.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=32%2D002

 

Let's hope that Furball Aero-Desing will continue to produce other decal sheets at 1:32 for the

F-5E Tiger II plus a 1:32 version of their F-5E Canopy Seals available at 1:48.

 

Indeed, the F-5E Tiger II offers many possibilities of projects, covering 24 different Air Forces including 3 in Usa (Usn, Usaf, Usmc)

and very beautiful camouflage patterns all more colorful than each other:

 

Alu, Blue, Flogger, Frog, Grape, Lizard, Pumkin, Sand, Silver, Snake, Grays, Splinter, Jungle, Middle East (Desert),

Southeast Asia (Vietnam), North Africa (Tunisia) etc ... and I certainly forget other ones.

In anticipation of the arrival of the Kitty Hawk 1:32 "F-5E Tiger II" model announced for March 2018, here is another interesting decal sheet available from FCM Decals for Brazilian ''Força Aerea Brasileira'' F-5E Tiger II.

 

This decal sheet covers Brasilian Tigers of the first era of operational years for ''Pointed Nose'' / ''No LERX'' aircrafts just like the one that will be released by Kitty Hawk next March.

 

Meanwhile, lets hope that Kitty Hawk will include in its 1/32 scale kit : The fin fillet extension, the dorsal VHF blade antenna and the in flight refueling probe specific to the first 36 F-5E Tiger II delivered to Brasil, and many other nations operating the F-5E Tiger II;

I have drawers full of TwoBob and old SuperScale Agressor sheets that have been gathering dust for years , but it looks like they might just be getting an airing eventually!

 

It would be quite logical commercially that Two Bobs Decals eventually produce 1/32 scale versions of their beautiful decal sheets of F-5E Tiger II available at 1/48 scale. All the (excellent) research work is already done ! To follow !
