AdrianMF Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hello All, Here's the old Airfix F5A. It is OOB apart from a vac canopy, my own markings and a ton of filler. Build thread is here. Finished with AK True Metal (which I heartliy recommend) and a mixture of kit and home brew markings: Thanks for looking, Adrian 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyGair Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Very nice. Seeing lot of 'wheels up' builds lately, I'm gonna have to try that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Thanks All! it was an interesting side build. Very nice. Seeing lot of 'wheels up' builds lately, I'm gonna have to try that. Davey, if you saw the undercarriage parts you would know why it was wheels up! Edited June 26, 2016 by AdrianMF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeradej Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Sharp looking result from this rather crude kit is quite as awesome as your skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Superb job you've done on this old kit. Great finish and terrific display. I remember building this as akid in the 70s. I've always thought the F-5 was a good looking aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
