Jens Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Last night I finally finished the last of my first handful of aggressor F-5Es. It is the lovely AFV Club F-5E kit with Wolfpack ejection seat (the kit only comes with the old type of seat). Paints are mainly Xtracolor, and the decals are from the great Afterburner Decals sheet for aggressor F-5s. I have eight more AFV Club F-5E/F/Ns on the bench at the moment, so this won't be the last F-5 from me you will see here. Jens 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary West Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Lovely job Jens, love it. I too am building the same right now (Alconbury 70's) - great little kit it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Looks good - as usual! I'm planning to do a VFC-111 in 1/72'nd scale in my 'Sundowners'-series (which isn't started yet, but you get the idea! ) Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for the comments - I appreciate them. Of the eight F-5s I am currently working on, the F-5F will become Iranian, the F-5N will become either an adversary aircraft or the one in the white/intermediate blue/dark sea blue scheme. The F-5Es will be painted in some of the remaining USAF aggressor schemes. Jens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low flyer Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I don't really care how many more are on the bench --------- lets have a look at them this one is finished beautifully 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Very, very nice Tiger Jens. I look forward to seeing your other F-5 builds, especially your Iranian F-5F! Craig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Great build, probably one of my favourite schemes for this type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks once again. As for the next one to hit the paint booth I think it will be the Iranian F-5F, although a couple of the USAF aggressors are pretty close to being ready too. I just modified a couple of Aires MB Mk. 7 F-104 seats to the Iranian Mk. 7 F-5F type today. Also, the weapons load will be four Mk. 82 Snakeyes and two Sidewinders.

Jens Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thank you for the kind words. Very nice, gotta love the aggressor for their cool schemes. Shaun. Yes, indeed. My plan is to make at least one of each of the USAF aggressor schemes and several of the USN/USMC adversary schemes. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29Triplex Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) F-5 Aggressors and Adversaries schemes are great favourites of mine, bringing back many fond memories of our DACT detachments to Alconbury.I can't wait to see your next offering - keep 'em coming Edited March 2, 2016 by 29Triplex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
