Synopsis Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi everyone, So I thought I would drop this in here too, this is my completed build of the Tiger Hobbies F-5A kit in 1/48 Scale that I put together for the F-5 STGB. This was my first ever Group Build I have taken part in and want to thank everyone involved for their help, encouragement and information. I built her in the Philippines Blue Diamonds Acro Team Livery it comes with in the box. I know this kit has its inaccuracies but most do and I have to say it was really fun to build and regardless of the problems it still builds into a nice looking model when its complete and for the price I am more than happy with it. It's completely OOB, nothing added, painted in Tamiya and Revell Aqua acrylics and finished with Winsor & Newton Varnishes. There was a minor disaster towards the end of my build with me destroying parts of decals that were already applied and some filler/paint went missing at this stage too. I will probably add a light panel wash in the future at some point. Build thread is here if anyone is interested in that kind of stuff. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hello,Synopsis Good to see you back on RFI. My compliments to you on a beautiful looking build of your 'F-5'.I love the quality and detail of the paint and finishing work and commend the clean patina.If she was mine,I wouldn't do another thing with her.In her unusual markings she is a resplendent tribute to the type.All the very best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
