djos Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hi to all another model finished 3 months ago, Hobby Boss F5 E in Brazilian colors. Well known kit with some issues (biggest one is short windscreen) but in general easy and nice representation of F5 at the end. I changed some details to make more interesting and also add some parts needed for Brazilian version (tail, antennas...etc). Colors Gunze and very moderate weathering as panel lines are quite deep. At the end i like the overall look, i like three tone camouflage....so i am happy. Till next model, best regards to all 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I really like that. Great camo scheme that suits the F-5 perfectly. I do like the HB kit...built 3 or 4 of these...nice and simple and looks ok when finished despite its small flaws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adolfocaetanonetto Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Very nice! As brazillian, I'm proud of the FAB (Força Aérea Brasileira - Brazillian Air Force), Very low budget, continental territory to defend, and corrupt politicians getting in the way. Our Armed Forces are heroes, in a country very, very problematic (I hope you understand what are written - my damn english 🤐). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much As my country is also one with small budget, but very motivated experienced pilots, which had war experience in defending their country, and also in difficult political environment......i understand you fully and share same feelings. BTW...my English is not better...but we understand each other, and that is most important Best regards Djordje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, i can't resist to joke! Sorry! "Mea culpa"! (My fault). 😃. The Civil War in the countries of the EX-Yoguslavia is a sad history in the Europe. I remember the news in the press. But congratulations for your work in the F-5. Actually it is called F-5 EBR, after refit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 That camouflage is so well done! Congratulations on such good work! I also really like the unusual subject -- I don't see many Brazilian builds here. The subtle weathering makes it look very realistic. I have a Testor's F-5E that I want to make as a Mexican aircraft. Same camo, except the camo is on both the top and bottom. Terrific work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Looks great! I am in the process of bringing one back from the shelf of doom I have chosen exactly the same scheme as you so I hope my turns out half as well as yours!

Ramtin Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I think you did an amazing job. I really love this little jet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfinn Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'm one of that small band of misguided luddites who believe that the F-5E is one of the most aesthetically pleasing jet designs ever. And it never looks better than in camouflage. Your model is gorgeous. Superbly done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 That's a tidy Tiger in a lesser seen scheme. Good work 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
