Fishbone Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 F-5E Tiger II in 1/72. It's a new tooling of early version, release by Dream Model. It came with Two types of nose: Normal and shark nose. 8 markings for decal but I build the USAF one. Also came with 2 each of GBU-10, MK-83, MK-82 and Sidewinders. It's not out yet, but it will be release into market soon, REAL SOON. 41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertom Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Wait, is this a test shot that you built? Do you know if there are plans for an F-5A too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks for the update Fishbone and oh by the way, you did an outstanding job at producing a beautiful F-5E in natural metal. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That is one fine looking model. The kit looks fantastic and you have done a great job. Nice work. Very interested in an A model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Wonderful model. Is the instrument panel PE or decal? It looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 You've done a great job there Fishbone, a lovely looking F-5E. I take it this was a production kit? If so can you confirm for us whether it includes the canopy mechanism and cannon barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalako Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) It's a nice build and it looks to be a good kit/representation of the F-5E but, fingers crossed, I think I see some areas that might not be perfect. Nonetheless, I will be in a better position to make a more objective comment when I have the kit in my hands. Do we have a release date?

Luka Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Looks promising, just found it on Scalemates too. Never heard of the brand before though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangseat Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That's beautiful work - clearly why you get sent prerelease models! I'll be looking out for the release with interest. It would be amazing to have a T-38 of that quality as well.. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the wing joining to the fuselage seems like having a gap issue, and the gap behind the cockpit before the short antenna. However seems like easy to fix issues.

Red Dog Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Great rendition Fishbone, looks superb. Decal subjects look interesting too (I so want a VF-111 Sundowner F-5). BUT 40 euro? Crikey, it's gotta be able to get me breakfast each morning for that. 1 x Dream Model F-5E or 5 x Hobby Boss F-5E's Hmmm...... Interested to see when it's finally released.
