LSP_K2 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yes my friend, you and me both! Very VERY sad IMHO to loose a member with so much SME knowledge to add. As Andy noted he requested to have his account removed, siting personal reasons. Yep, and it's a darn shame too. I'll certainly miss his inputs.

f5guy Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 From what I have seen I think all this Tigers can be made with whats in the box. Except these two. These are both ex-USAF jets and will need to have the wing root LEXs removed, and use the round nose cone instead of the duckbill nose cone. By the way, Twobobs did decals for #03 many moons ago.

f5guy Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thank you for the info but it is not yet on the Pacific Coast internet website ''Shop'' list. And it seems this website is for wholesale customers only ! On the plus side, it is on the KitLinx website available to order for retail customers here : https://www.kitlinx.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=KTY32018&title=F-5E-Tiger-II-Fighter-%28New-Tool%29 SharkOwl WOW! That's expensive! I got mine from Aurora Hobby Shop on ebay for $60 shipped to the US. Perhaps an option? Fred K. Out2gtcha and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Got mine on eBay from a Chinese seller for less than 50€ shipped to Europe. The guy certainly also ships to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 At some point I may have to get this kit if I can find it at the right price. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 At some point I may have to get this kit if I can find it at the right price. I don't think you'll regret it. All things considered, I see it as a definite improvement over what the Hasegawa kit offered. Out2gtcha and Harold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 My second kit has a broken canopy... Does someone got an idea where I can get a replacement canopy? Thanks PM Kagnew here on LSP. Glen will put you in touch with the person who will get one to you. At least that's what happened with a T-28 of mine. And the service was pretty quick, too. Send here with this info Tomcat.

SharkOwl Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 By the way, on a humoristic note, this is not F-5E related but Kitty Hawk related. A few days ago on their facebook page, Kitty Hawk announced their 1/48 Yak-130 Mitten kit for next July with illustrations of the Box Art front and sides. On the box, there is a Yak-130 profile clearly identified for Bulgaria but ...... with Bangladesh Flag and Roundels ! No joke ! SharkOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Bulgaria - Bangladesh. Pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) A first completed 1/32 F-5E proposed on the Kitty Hawk Group facebook page with 16 photos ! But I am not sure that this ''LA 405'' coded Northrop F-5E Tiger II USAF, 58 TFTW, Luke AFB AZ ca.1979 had in reality the light grey dorsal fin antennae. Any help about it ?

No RWR antennas, vent in the left side of the canopy, or extended wing root LEXs either. 72-1405 was a very early E model, and did not have any of the later mods. Still a nice looking build though ;0) Fred K. Out2gtcha, Daniel Leduc, LSP_K2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
