AFV Club F-5E/N

[Muzz]

Just arrived at my door this morning from Hong Kong, ordered on Tuesday (pretty good!), AFV Clubs new release of the F-5 kit, what a lovely little kit, stunning decals and a nice laminated folder containing a laminated print of the box art. Pretty good value for money I think.

Hiya Muzz - what are the "special parts" mentioned on the box lid?

Hi Jonners

It's not quite as exciting as the sticker would have you believe, dont think theres any extra parts for the actual kit, but theres a plastic A4 sheet of the box art contained within a similar style folder with other artwork on it.

Forgot to mention the interiour of the box has pictures of the box art for future releases and it would appear that an RF-5E Tigereye is on the way along with a couple of F-86 Sabres.

"Unfortunately" it's not a new tool, but is the Academy plastic. Of course the Academy kit is outstanding, so you get new Taiwan decals.

I saw the kit in person the other day. It has the duck bill nose and LEX for the F-5N (ex-Swiss AF planes) in the kit. Almost bought it but got the original kit instead.

i got mine form luckymodel fior about 24 quid inc shipping - the tigereye is now availble, have my order in the post

if you look on their website, check out wolfpack designs they produce a neat little seat for the F5E with seperate seat harness.all we need now are exhaust cans as I think these are the one weak part of the kit

Got mine from a trader on ebay called "funnyolddog", paid £22.79 for it including p&p which I think was a bit of a bargain.

The Tiger Eye shows as "available" not in stock, so not sure when you would actually get it.

I have mine on pre-order and nothing has been said about it being on its way as yet.
