mgbgtv8steve Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hi Don - my point exactly - out of 7 different boxings, only 3 are available in limited numbers and they aren't the most popular or have the 'mainstream' markings in the box - I'm sure the aftermarket decal manufacturers love them! I currently have 3 AFV Club F5E/F and a Freedom Models F20B/N Tigershark in the works and I have to say I'm enjoying every last minute building them! As a named "PhantomPhanatic" I must say I feel a bit of a traitor to my first love!!! Steve S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 LOL, I know how you feel. Look on it as a minor dalliance and you will return to your (RAF) true love when it arrives in 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look here... https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?product_category_id=&product_division_id=&manufacturer_id=7888&code=&product_type_id=&scale_id=955&keyword_search=F-5&setPerPage=25&currency_id= I have a Singapore Tigereye that I am itching to start. By the way, all AFV Club F-5E kits no longer available at Hannants of UK are still available from various online retailers in USA. A quick research on these most popular USA online retailers and you will find all of them. SharkOwl LSP_K2 and DonH 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Release date announced for the 1/32 Kitty Hawk F-5F Twin Tiger II is September 5th 2018. Hong Kong’s ''Sincere Hobby'' will most probably be one of the first online retailer to have it in stock and they already offer a ‘’Pre Order’’ option for it.

Have they now categorically stated they will not do this? If this is confirmed it is a very goob news indeed. Lets wait and see if Two Bobs ''might'' do it or ''Do'' it. As I mentionned before, Two Bobs could easily regroup all USAF agressors F-5E ''Bot Numbers'', serials, badges, stencils, etc.. on one large 1/32 decal sheet covering all subjects proposed on their 1/48 decal sheets plus a set of different color scheme instruction sheets. And all the research needed is already made by Two Bobs. ( I repeat : all the research needed is already made by Two Bobs. ) I am just surprised Two Bobs Decals do not have done it yet.

Tony T Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm not keen on generic sheets as it's the small touches, like air and ground crew names, that are the real pull, as are the comprehensive instructions for a handful of subjects. I'd rather Two Bobs created a 1/32 sheet or two with very specific aircraft subjects in mind, judiciously picking from their wealth of material; the heft of 1/32 deserves more attention to detail.

SharkOwl I sure do hope that Twobobs scales their USAF aggressor sheets up. Bob could literally corner the big scale USAF F-5E aggressor market with one release of a half dozen sheets.

alaninaustria Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Now, that is some choice of options! I like the top one!! Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Yesssss! Seems like Kitty Hawk answered my prayers... RSAF "853" would be another stunning scheme. Only problem: extensively modified F-5T airframe - radome needs some mods, new cockpit arrangement and fixed IFR probe mandatory. The same applies to "855", by the way. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
