    As the old man said, "having one god I can understand, but having only two Es and an F, .... it is not civilised!!!"🤣

    Ah! since you mentioned the right word, it would be really interesting to see you building the electronics cabin !!!! (so we can use it as an example to finish our ESCI AD-4W) Cheers, Bill

    I get your point, mate. Cheers, Bill

    Hello V.P. Is the 51.58 euros the pre-order price of the kit, or the final price? I'm asking because I just opened the specific webpage (eduard.com/preorders) and it shows the price I just mentioned, but with no indication regarding this matter. Cheers, Bill

    Thanks for the tip mate, but come on, 51.80 for a kit like this one? I mean Academy used to sell their reboxings of the KF-5E and KF-5F a few years ago for only 35 euros to 40 max. Perhaps a significant discount if you preorder more than five kits?

    @Homebee: I looked again at the photo with the marking options. Are the F-5s S/Ns the following? • NFWS F-5E #45 => 160794? • VFA-127 F-5E #20 => 741530 (probably previously known as 160796)? • VFC-13 F-5E #01 730865? Cheers, Bill

    Looks like I'm gonna have to FINALLY smash that piggy bank I have since I was five years old!!! Ha ha ha!!

    OK, so for starters we will need six kits to cover the variations it gives. Sign me in for six and another six!!!! By the way, how about an F-5E from VMFT-401?

    Maybe you can find some in one of those old ESCI sheets that are for sale on Ebay?

    Are there any other photos of the aircraft from that time? They would be useful to make a diorama. Cheers, Bill

    Now, how can you say no to such a beautiful and detailed kit?
  12. Shalako
    All three boxes are temporarily unavailable as it says on the website. Pity though, because I was planning to buy a couple of them before Christmas.

    Come on Wolfpack Design ... where are those F-5s??? IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS TIME!!!! WE NEED OUR GIFTS!!!! Hey Santa ! Are you also listening??? Complaint about the delay🤣🤣🤣

    Interesting, but not as interesting as having decals for the US Navy adversary units. We're talking about more than 50 different paint schemes! For all of these I need more than 50 kits, if you count the alterations that exist between them. Perhaps the double amount of kits, but hey, that means more profit for Wolfpack Design !!!! Cheers, Bill

    Hear, hear.

    Do we have a release date, and from where we can purchase our future stock of F-5s? Cheers, Bill

    What about the Monogram and then re-boxed by Revell kit? I believe in the 1/48 scale it is the best representation of an early type flying pencil. What's your view? Cheers, Bill
  18. Shalako
    BINGO !!!!! How😁 did you figure it out?
  19. Shalako
    If I counted correctly that's 400 kits on the foreground. So, how many in the background? Another 400? Nah.... that's a small stash!🤣 I have more than a thousand, but the location is classified, so NO PICTURES – PROHIBITED – VERBOTEN (oops, ... I just revealed the location🤣)

    ONLY five? Having five wives only I can understand, but only five Tiger IIs? That's not civilised!!! 🤣🤣🤣 To paraphrase a famous line from an infamous film of the late 1950s. Cheers, Bill

    It seems that Christmas came early this year!!! Gimme gimme gimme!!!!!

    When you have Plastmodel selling the last mould of Hasegawa's F-14 for less than 20 euros, why spend money to buy the Italeri or the Academy kit (the old mould)? Cheers, Bill

    Cheers Giorgio, I have noticed that the company has a tendency to print decals that do not have the right colours. Of course, the kit I mentioned was put in the market in the 90s but if you take a newer kit the problem is still obvious. I remember at some point, when I had the tendency to buy only Italeri kits, I almost had to buy for each of them an aftermarket decals' sheet. But, going back to the kit itself, for a scale modeller who wants to add that "extra" touch of accuracy to some of the kit's details, the kit is still manageable and can offer a good result. On the other hand, there are several examples of abandoned F-14s (even in AMARC) that you could recreate using the specific kit as a basis. One last note: I wouldn't spend more than £10-12, £15 maximum on this kit, and I see some people on Ebay selling it for more. Cheers, Bill

    You better hurry and release the kit so that we the "E" and "F" fans (or should i say fanatics??) can buy enough (half a dozen at least), because I just spend $35 to buy DreamModel's "F" and from a first glance, it looks more like an 1/76 than a 72th scale kit. But more on that when i look into it better. Cheers, Bill

    Hello All, I'm reposting part of Giorgio's comment because I was recently given along with other kits the Italeri kit and i want to say that while it is a mediocre kit, it should probably be based – well, part of it – on the original Hasegawa mould but with significant manufacturing differences like the front part of the fuselage. Nevertheless, I think for someone who wishes to build an early "A" model, it can be a good base to start with. Wha do you think Giorgio? Cheers, Bill
