Col. Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 That's a pretty tidy Tiger. Grey can look a bit flat as an overall scheme but you've done a good job of adding lots of interest to break it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I really like how you have brought subtlety and life to a flat grey scheme. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper3111 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I must admit that the F-5 isn't my favorite aircraft but as I have a local connection to Alconbury I wanted to build it. I was very surprised at the level of detail this little kit had and all in all it was an enjoyable build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mireson Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 very nice, are the rivets decals, or the plastic in the kit, or did you work on them with a rivet star thing great finish, malc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper3111 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 The rivets are moulded into the surface of the kit, I then just added a wash over the top once I had let the decals dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Nice model. It appears you have used the N version as it has the extended leading edge roots and shark nose. I like the colour - which colour did you use for it? Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atdb27 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Great finish. Looks very good Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I am sorry to be the one to say this but, for me, those panels lines and rivets are far too heavy. It looks like a die-cast. Which is a shame because the paint job looks really nice and clean and the decals look painted on. cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper3111 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Nice model. It appears you have used the N version as it has the extended leading edge roots and shark nose. I like the colour - which colour did you use for it? Jens You are absolutely right, I got it cheap so used it. I tried to sort the nose out but obviously not enough and I just completely forgot about the slats until it was too late I am sorry to be the one to say this but, for me, those panels lines and rivets are far too heavy. It looks like a die-cast.
