Mr b Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Hi folks, Not my usual pace, but I am trying to speed build this for a local g/b featuring f-5 at the local hobby shop. Don't know if it can be finished by the 20/10 but am trying. The bench is in a mess, did not clean anything and just started the f-5 This is the box art....one of my kits which made it from my first venture into scale Modelling long long time ago.....really interested to do the box art version but the decals are shot beyond use.....so most likely a Malaysian bird then.....as I have ready decals Scribing going well so far, I am only doing a basic job....based on the kit lines.......hope to start on the BB pit and assembly by next week.....if all goes well Rgds to all Brian Edited October 4, 2017 by Mr b Uilleann, Bill_S, F`s are my favs and 7 others 10
Mark Jackson Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 That workbench! I was about to call the police in case you had been burgled
AceofClubs Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Great idea. I'll Always love F-5e. Aggressor camo? Ciao Filippo
Mr b Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 Cheers guys Filippo unless I can source some aggressor decals asap, it will most likely be a Malaysia bird....... Mark ...........nice one !!! ....its a right mess.............but .....will tend to it once I finish the F-5 and a little mirage as well............. Cheers and happy modelling Rgds Dragon and sandokan 2
TimW Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Oh, man...I ruined one of those in Jr. High School! Tim W.
Dragon Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I have this kit on the SOD. Watching your build just may motivate me to get back to it. Mike
Mr b Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 Cheers guys Summore work done The main airframe is scribed....test fitting the BB pit....so far no issues...also grinded off the Hasegawa panel shroud All clean and vacuumed.....the mrs was on my case....so just did it as it's much better...... Rgds to all Brian johncrow, MikeMaben, Tolga ULGUR and 5 others 8
1to1scale Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Good start on this project. I have been considering building an F-5 or T-38 since my day job is working with their engines (J-85-5/21).
Mr b Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks alot guys much appreciated. The hasegawa f-5e is a good kit considering its age. Still looks the part...........and blends in well Very curious as to how the Kitty Hawk one will look rgds mr b sandokan 1
Mr b Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Hello all I got some progress Black box pit in place a painted....most of it at least It's all together....front portion needs clean up......and the whole thing needs a check n clean before painting...... Thanks and Regards Brian Uilleann, Doctorgaz, Gazzas and 4 others 7
Dragon Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Brian, You're making quick progress on this build. The cockpit looks great! Mike
Mr b Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Brian, You're making quick progress on this build. The cockpit looks great! Mike Cheers Mike I am sure it will be familiar to you..... thanks for selling it to me.......... Yes I was trying to complete it for an upcoming local event on this Saturday but I gave up to rush it yesterday as by factoring my outstation trip on the 18th till the 20th , looks a little hard to achieve....nevertheless.............it should be done hopefully by end of the month...............
