djos Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hi to all Finally finished one of my older models in the stash, staying there for more that 20 years i think. Old Italeri mold, but i must say that i enjoyed in every minute working on it. I simply like those old Italeri models, maybe it is just nostalgia, So not to bother you more, some details added to the cockpit, just to make it more busy, colors Italeri acrylics. and minimal weathering. I hope you will like it. Best regards, Djordje 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 That’s very nice indeed. An unusual scheme. I don’t usually like ‘grey planes’, but that is smart. Well built too. I think that may have been an ESCI mould originally? Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italeri is reboxing many of the Esci kits, the Phantoms, Fokker F-27, and Harriers come to mind, and hopefully the F-5's, too. Mike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Slight thread drift, but many prefer their Harriers to those of Airfix and I would like to see the F-5’s as I missed them originally.

djos Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thank you all for nice words. Just one observation.....not sure regarding mold...there is also box with F4C/D which is original ESCI, with recessed panel lines. I think that all Italeri ones are with raised panel lines, what is case with this one, F4G.....etc. Anyway, as i already said, lot of joy with those oldies. Happy modeling to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
