Dazzio Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hello Everyone, This is my second entry to the Lesser Built Air-Forces GB. This kit was made using the Dragon 1/144 F-5F and using the Retrowings cockpit upgrade set. I had a right nightmare with this kit. I lost the canopy, luckily I had a spare but that cracked when I tried to get it off the sprue. Then I found two kits in Australia, which I promptly ordered... they never turned up. I am going to blame all of the creepy-crawleys in that country. Some spider is munching on my kit right now The decals are from Aztec Decals celebrating 20 years service of the F-5 with the Fuerza Aérea Mexicana and from what I understand of it, the scheme was painted by the guys at Aztec onto the plane (I could be completely wrong). On to the pictures... yay... Sorry for the bad quality picture, I will try to take this one again... Let me know what you guys think, Kind Regards, Dazz 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synopsis Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 They say good things come in small packages and this F-5 is just that. Lovely, must be tiny though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thank you both Synopsis, the actual size of the model is about 7cm long give or take. Looking at the pictures, they are kinda pants. I will endeavour to re-take them at a later date. Kind Regards, Dazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
