Grizly Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 No, it's not a test shot from Tan Model or Kitty Hawk but rather a model based on the Hasegawa 1/32 F-5E Tiger II and the Belcher Bits conversion (plus some other odds and sods and Leading Edge decals). florin13, Jack, williamj and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Indeed looking very very good, and very realistic. How was your experience using the Belcher conversion, since i'm interested in trying to use the conversion kit as well, have it already tooooo long in stash........ great build, congrats, Jack. btw, do you have "in progress" pictures as well??

Grizly Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) My build actually used the master for the fuselage that was used to make that in the Belcher Bits conversion. Why? I made it and I just wanted to use 'my' part. The rest including the intakes, tanks, doors pylons are those provided by Belcher Bits. I do have lots of 'in progress' photos, however, there is a possibility of my build being publicized so I'm reluctant to post them at this time.

Gerhard Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Stunning. I would really like to know how you did the base. Edited August 17, 2018 by Gerhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizly Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 The base was made decades ago for another model. It's simply a piece of Masonite glued to a frame and sprayed with rattle can paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I've just had a look at the instructions on the Belcher website; that's a lot of complex work, and it's turned out great. Lovely model of an unusual type, very well executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevepd Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I was going to get rid of my Hasegawa F-5e because of the new KH example, but I might actually keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
