aidy Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This was my entry in last year's Specialist GB. It's the AFV Club 1/48 RF-5E Tigereye with Quickboost seat and WandD metal pitot. Cameras in the nose were scratch built along with some basic details in the cockpit. Decals are from decal-la and painted with Gunze Mr Color lacquers over a black surfacer base. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it in time for the GB deadline. Everything had gone well with the build until I brought it for a meet-up with some friends. I ended up sitting on the poor thing and damaged the rear fuselage. It almost went into the bin until I decided to repair and finish the project. Glad I did. aidy 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Now that is nice. Beautifully painted and lightly weathered. Well done. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbay133 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Very nice. Given the accident damage that is a beautiful example of a classic airframe. Well done. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Excellent model, and I happen to have a special liking for photorecce machines, so twice as enjoyable! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's just perfect..... ( part no.E20 is not there however) but it's still a great RF5E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Kampartiger! Pictures published in Koku-Fan April 1987 shows this aircraft flying without the antenna (part E20) so I went with that. Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
