I normally don't comment on jet models because they're not a point of interest to me, but i have to say this is some fine paint work and a good looking build.
Thanks yes. I understand you as i love to look at biplanes but they don't interest me modelling wise.
Nicely done, looks great!
Thanks
Beautiful paintwork.
Thanks
That's a great model, Joseph. I love the camo. AFV F-5s come with unique riveting and panelling, as I can see. Make for a unique emphasizing appearance, which is extremely interesting.
All the best!
Thank you, much appreciated! I agree about the rivets, they add interest but I might have gone a little overboard on this one.
Wow, excellent paintwork!
Excellent work!
Love it! Did the same scheme on 1/72 a year or so ago. It really is a striking scheme to me. Your finish on it is excellent.
Excellent finish and attention to detail! Really impressive.
I just dug this kit out of my stash (literally 10 minutes ago). Looking forward to the build. I understand this thread is from two years back, Joseph but did you have any problems ? - is there anything I need to watch out for ?

Hi, I don't recall any particular issues with the kit fit and construction. I did not use the kit decals so I cannot comment on the decals.
