Tom Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Painting question: What color would the intake ducts of an early production F-5E be? The few head-on photos I can find all show the intake ducts in deep shadow -- just a black hole. The splitter plate always seems to be the exterior paint color, and probably that continues rearward for a bit, but I have no idea how far. I'm guessing the ducts would be either: 1) natural metal, or 2) white, or 3) aluminum lacquer paint. Anyone know for sure? Or have photos to post? Thank you.

Starfighter Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I have probably just missed it, but what happened to Airfixer? Regarding the guns in adversary aircraft, I guess it's to keep the center of gravity where it belongs. But then, some aggressor Tigers had their guns removed...

Out2gtcha Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I was just thinking the same thing. Im looking into that................ He left for personal reasons. Indeed................I was actually aware of this, I just didnt realize he was AirFixer as an LSP user. Yes, he left of his own accord. I am very sorry to see this actually, as he obviously had a wealth of great info to share. Harold, Daniel Leduc and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 It's a shame to see an expert like him leave the site (not asking why?!) Wish he would return some day to share his knowledge. Lothar Out2gtcha, Daniel Leduc, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothar 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.

Tnarg Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 This thread is one of the best I have seen for documenting the actual plane versus the model, along with great suggestions for fixing the issues.... should one have that desire. I am surprised that Airfixer left, and I hope that he knows the depth of appreciation that I have for his great work to make this possible.That said, I certainly want to thank all of you who added anything to our knowledge on this kit and aircraft. Let's hope that this happens for even more of the LSP subjects out there. It makes LSP the best site on the internet for aircraft models.

HobbyZoneUSA Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 For those who've been asking me where to get the Kitty Hawk 1/32 F-5E Tiger II (and other releases), Kitlinx.com is the new importer (bought out Pacific Coast Models) and they are in stock now!

Guest Maxim Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Agree, a treasure trove of info. I wish we could do the same for other aircraft and gradually build up a reference section for the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) For those who've been asking me where to get the Kitty Hawk 1/32 F-5E Tiger II (and other releases), Kitlinx.com is the new importer (bought out Pacific Coast Models) and they are in stock now! 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 Edited May 30, 2018 by SharkOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 $100 seems pretty high, even if the kit wouldn't have so many issues. Glad there's eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
