I've started the Italeri F-5F kit. There is an older boxing of this same kit, but this one came with the Sundowner decals I wanted. I actually secured a second set of decals from Italeri so I could steal the shark mouth for a second Sundowner (the brown E).

As usual, getting the landing gear fit into the close position is a challenge. Having to use styrene for the nose door, and some major cutting and putty work on the others. No pics to add yet (other than the box top and decals), but it is coming along...

Great Choice Greg ! Like David said, these really look great in the Aggressor scheme...
Thanks for starting a build thread. And welcome aboard my friend !

Got the fuselage together, cockpit built out/painted, all gear doors on (and seriously puttied, sanded, etc. - terrible fit for this Italeri product!) - tail on and painted with white as a base for the Sundowners decals, metal tail section painted. I just picked up the model colors I'm going to use for the paint scheme, and now need to mix them a bit to try to get closer to reference photos. Paint should start going down this week.

That is going to be a nice looking F 5 Greg!
