Dandiego Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Steve, I would like to build a 1:32 Tigershark as well. I have a Hasegawa F-5 kit and the Monogram 1:48th F-20. My plan is to cut up the smaller kit so that I have fuselage cross sections. Scale everything up to 1:32 and start cutting plastic. It is a bit of work but you are only rebuilding the aft end of the fuselage. When done you will have the 1:32 Tigershark in town.

cbk57 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Isn't Kittyhawk doing a 1/32 F-5? I don't know if that is close to a F-20 or not, but seems like it would be an easier conversion than scratch building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Didn't I see a possible 1/32nd F-20 proposed by someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Isn't Kittyhawk doing a 1/32 F-5? I don't know if that is close to a F-20 or not, but seems like it would be an easier conversion than scratch building? Kittyhawk has already released the F-5E kit. To make a F-20, you'd need to scratchbuild the entire rear fuselage at least because instead of two small engines, there is only one big engine. Add in bigger stabs and new cockpit, and you have a fair amount of work. Even though the Hasegawa F-5s have been out for decades, I don't think anyone ever made a F-20 conversion for it, so I'm guessing the popularity isn't there. Only three prototypes were ever built, and two of them crashed within two years of being built. Jack, Out2gtcha, David66 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffer Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I like the F-20, but I would rather have something like a Voodoo. Or even an F-5A. firefly7, Daniel Leduc, Derek B and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 F-5A would be good, as would a B. Derek B, Jack and Grunticus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Can’t imagine the F-20 would sell. With only 3 built, it’s nearly a What-If subject. CRAZY IVAN5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I'm enclined to agree that the F-20A could be more popular than expected. Even today. I'd love to see one kitted in 32nd scale - as long as it would come with three different fwd fuselages, and not just two different canopies or radomes. Three different fwd fuselages given the different access panel arrangements on GI1001 (N3686B) and GI1002 (N44671). Outwardly, virtually identical. GG1001 (82-0062) was the only F-20A to retain the original F-5E fwd fuselage, still reflecting the initial F-5G "engine change only" approach.

jenshb Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'd like to see an F-20 kit - particularly the first prototype in the red and white scheme. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trumpeter A-10B N/AW sold quite well. Only one built !! Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
