Giorgio N Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Only that it's supposed to be an easy kit. Anything else is just a guess. Now even if it wil be an easy kit, if it's half decent I'll buy more than one, I have decals for a few nice schemes !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 also mentioned 2x F-14 in 1.72... easy kit do we think ? Yes. That in itself is not a bad thing if they are properly done. With so many schemes around, having a cheap and easy to build tomcat is the best way to build plenty of tomcats without struggling with kits that are beautiful but also complicated, like the hasegawa and fujimi ones.

gioca Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Italeri reissued the CF-5B biplace (ex ESCI) not the monoplace F-5AItaleri CF-5B Not properly, Italeri reiussed also the ESCI monoplace F5A , introduced on about 2002 as" News", but almost still from 2006/7 it is again out the catalogue. Anyway it is possible to find it on some on line shops , for instance: http://www.rebell.com/f-5a-freedom-fighter.html Ciao Giovanni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foghorn Leghorn Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 It is allegedly an ex-trumpeter F-5E mould which itself was allegedly a copy of the Italeri F-5E before Italeri modded the kit to F-5N. Hopefully I've covered all the legal niceties there ... I'm keen to get my mitts on one to see if the 'above' is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
