Mr b Posted October 4, 2017 Share 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 Kagemusha, F`s are my favs, Uilleann and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr b Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Cheers guys Filippo unless I can source some aggressor decals asap, it will most likely be a Malaysia bird.......

1to1scale Posted October 8, 2017 Share 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr b Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr b Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share 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...............
