PM me your e-mail address and I will forward them to you. John Thanks John. I have now sent you my email address. Best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk57 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Wow. I bow in your general direction, Chris! Quite a nice build... You may be "venting on" about the F5 exhausts, but that is quite the cockpit you built! How you got those knobs and dials so precise is beyond me! HOW did you do it!? I am struggling with 3 of my own Revell 1/32nds (F Mk.6, FGA.9/Mk58 and the ol' original kit FGA9 with the ill-mannered tapered leading edges). I just stripped off the red and white training scheme for the second time... gonna get it right or blow a gasket trying! keep up the fantastic work! Doug S.

With regard to the knobs and dials. The dials where from the Flightpath set and the knobs where all done with a Waldren punch and die set. I painted the correct colour for each knob and then painted a slightly lighter version in the middle (or thereabouts) of each knob. Hope that makes sense. I feel for you with the red and white scheme. Looks great but is a challenge to get it right, which is why I am not doing it 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hi, any more progress on this? I recently started the Airfix 1/48 F5, would it be OK with you if I used your drawings of the fuselage intakes/ vents as reference please. Hope you’re well.
