Double F5 Build

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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!

Apologies for the non completion (again) of a group build! Progress if anyone is still following this thread:

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.
