Jpthedog Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It seems like someone beat me to it, but having looked at the stash I decided to build two F5's at once for this GB. Italeri F-5A and Revell boxing F-5B - both are from the same mould though (ESCI?) and both will be spanish AF, the F-5A will be cammo and the 2 seater silver. Both will be OOB as both kits are handily supplied with Spanish AF decals! F5A box F5A colur scheme and decals F5B box Decals Comparison of both sprue sets F5A F5B 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 welcome aboard, nice to have you here for the GB. This would be a pretty small GB if it wasn't for Esci's old F-5! Another great choice of colour schemes plus it interesting the number of people who are build two F-5's and mostly a single and two seater version. Well good luck wit the build, hope it it is a pleasant and enjoyable one and look forward to seeing these two beauties in the galleys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich - cheers - yeah strange with all the ESCI F-5s and double builds F-5A and B's. I think it looks like a simple kit hence the thought why not build 2 at once! I have the 1/48the Kinetic F-5A, but I doubt I would even get the cockpit finished by the end of the GB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Always loved the Spanish 3-tone camo, looking forward to this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpthedog Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Apologies for the non completion (again) of a group build! Progress if anyone is still following this thread: Tip tanks with clear piece added for nav lights - after gluing on the wrong end!! F-5B primed F-5B with its NMF sprayed Close up of the NMF - too shiny! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Good to see that you are still working on these Jp. Nice metal finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpthedog Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Good to see that you are still working on these Jp. Nice metal finish. Yeah I will complete them both. The NMF is Metal Extreme - pretty easy to use. Will dirty it up but not too much for the Spanish scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
