dtn05 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I want to convert a 1/32 Kitty Hawk F-5E kit into a F-5A, would the Belcher Bits conversion set fit the Kitty Hawk kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also the same person that was caught entering models in contests that he didn't build. While I haven't seen the parts in person, it wouldn't surprise me if these are in fact copies of your parts. Sadly, another aftermarket producer is selling resin copies of Koster sets on Ebay. Sadly, this does kind of put the spike in the heart of things. Can't change the spots on a Leopard. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but you will struggle to replicate the same surface details. Personally, I will simply use an Hasegawa kit. Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome piece of work that BB kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizly Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) As I have posted before, with a little work, the Hasegawa/Belcher Bits conversion combination can be built into an attractive model. I know I'm more than happy with my build. Edited May 17 by Grizly Mr.T, Jack and Violator1991 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT is a great looking "A" model, have the Belcher conversion kit, and planning (yeah right.......) to use it to build the NF-5A model the RNLAF used to operate in the past. You did a very pleasant looking end result using this conversion set......congrats. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
