Juggernut Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Very nice decals but I'll hold out for some USAF Aggressors. SharkOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 'An F-5F will be cool.' So would an F-20. Sincerely, Mark David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f5guy Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The last time that I talked to Bob S over at Twobobs, I mentioned the forthcoming Kittyhawk F-5E/F kits to him, and how he would be in a prime spot to quickly put out some outstanding adversary and aggressor for it. He seemed interested, so we'll see what happens. Now might be a good time to contact him if you have any interest. I am SO looking forward to this kit! Let hope that we're not disappointed. Fred K.

Jack Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) I just hope if Tan does do it he'll quit doing the row of divots along the edge of every panel. Totally ruined his otherwise pretty decent RF-4F kit. The real one is smooth as can be. .....I have yet to see the first ever 1/32 scale kit produced by "Tan-models" to appear anywhere..........it won't be worth my time waiting for it.....

My best bet is that Tan Models will never release a 1/32 F-5A/B/C/D & T-38 Family of kits. They announce it for now more than 5 years ! The most logical option for a future 1/32 F-5A/B/C/D & T-38 Family of kits is in my mind Kinetic ! But for 2018 we will have a 1/32 F-5E Tiger II / RF-5E TigerEye / F-5F TwinTiger Family from Kitty Hawk !!!

thierry laurent Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I hate when companies announce kits they do not release. This locks the market forever and finally prevents the release of interesting topics for ages. Similarly, I do not like when they finally release a kit for which the sprue organization clearly shows the intention to release further versions they finally do not market. This has simply the same result: locking the market! rafju, SharkOwl and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Two bobs already released such sets...years ago! If so, they are no longer available. But I do not remember Two Bobs having produce 1/32 Scale Decals for the F-5E Tiger II, but they have done a superb job for this subject on 1/48 Scale. Here is the Two Bobs current very high quality 1/32 offer : http://www.twobobs.net/contents/en-us/d7.html SharkOwl Edited December 21, 2017 by SharkOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkOwl Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 I know it for a simple reason: I got them! Set 32006 (F-5E) and 32040 (F-5N Sundowners). And this is the best reason for Two Bobs to reprint them ! Low cost reprint operation for Two Bobs, maximum commercial impact for them.

Tony T Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 They're all Navy. I'd like USAF DACT schemes from the 1970s-1980s, and maybe TAC more than PACAF or USAFE 'cos of the extra insignia and yellow/black Nellis chequers on the tailfin. I remember Microscale did these way back when the Hasegawa F-5E was a hot new item, but the artwork was exemplary and I'd very happily buy a Superscale reprint.

SharkOwl Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 If my reseach is correct, the Kitty Hawk 1/32 F-5E Tiger II Box Art is depicting a : Northrop F-5E Tiger II USAF of the 58 TFTW, Luke AFB AZ cira.1979. Am I right ? SharkOwl David66 and Menelaos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right ? SharkOwl Sounds about right. People love that two tone green & tan over light grey but I'm a picky little blighter looking for the silver or multitone blue finishes. Looking forward to this kt very much Tony SharkOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
