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

[themongoose]

Does anyone have a close up pic of the boarding step that appears to pulls out of the fuselage of the F-5E? The closest one i have is below and it’s not good enough to recreate it in scale. My detail & scale book hs at least 6 shots of this but none that aren’t blurry. I’m trolling the walkarounds now but thought this thread may be a better place to find something close up.

Interesting observation! I never realized there was that integrated leader.

Good news...I would still love to see a 1/32 F-5A, B or T-38 though!

 RSAF…..is that the Republic of Singapore Air Force version or the Royal Saudi Air Force version in the desert camouflage?
 

I used to watch the Saudi F-5s fly from Dhahran over my school in the 1970’s.

There can be only one - RSAF = Republic of Singapore Air Force.

 

Maybe someone will build a Saudi plane in black and white stripes (obscure football/soccer reference).

Phew!…..finally finished digesting 74 pages of this. Now…it’s time to start the build. 
 

I have finally unboxed the F-5E kit yesterday. Will use the useful info from here to build my RSAF plane. Never mind some inaccuracies, I will do what is possible and practical to complete the plane. Wish me luck for my first 1/32 big plane.

 RSAF could mean either though.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. 

In my eyes there is only one RSAF, but I am definitely biassed.
