jean Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Bonsoir Patrice, I can see that you have started the year at full speed! The F-5 is a very charismatic plane, so it's going to be good! Have fun!!! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Good evening Craig Thank you Bonsoir Patrice, I can see that you have started the year at full speed! The F-5 is a very charismatic plane, so it's going to be good! Have fun!!! JR Bonsoir JR I wanted to keep the good rythm I had with the Skyhawk and the Dragonfly .. Yes the F5 is very interesting plane it is just too bad that there is so few kits in 1/72 ...

jean Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Salut Patrice, this F-5 is starting to shape up nicely, and it doesn't look like it is gathering any spider web, considering your build rate! Great show! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi Patrice, welcome aboard, sorry for the delay in finding this thread but as mentioned in another thread, I'm traveling around Europe as well as looking after the the start of the P-47 GB, so time does get away from me! You've made a great start to the build, I love the PE bits in the cockpit, looks amazing when painted! I had to recheck just to make sure it wasn't 1/48th, you've done a lovely job with the cockpit, well done. Well good luck with the rest of the build and I do look forward to she her in the gallery.
