Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and the F-5E/F Tiger II

Matchbox 1/72 Northrop F-5A

Matchbox 1/72 Northrop F-5A PK-12 was first released in 1972. A simple and sharp looking kit that took the modeling world by storm, well for someone who was 13 years old back then. But to be honest, a lot of my paper route adult customers [...]

Revell (Esci) 1/72 F-5A Freedom Fighter

Hellenic Air Force (HAF), started receiving the F-5A in 1965. In the same year, the 341st Day Interception Squadron (MAH) was declared operational, followed by the 343 MAH. 55 aircraft were initially received, followed by 17 RF-5As in [...]

AFV 1/48 F-5E Tiger IIBrazilian Air Force

Hello! Here’s my recent project: an AFV F-5E Tiger II in 1/48 scale. This little jet fighter has quite a history with the Brazilian Air Force, which received its first deliveries in 1975. They were initially deployed to Santa Cruz AB and [...]

Top Gun “Mig”, F-5E Hobbyboss 1/72.

This is my take on the Mysterious Mig seen in that movie, It's a neat little kit with few hang ups. Most of the decals came from the kit , the yellow circles on the tail were kit bashed. The running joke at the museum that I volunteer at [...]

F-5e afv 1/48

Beatiful kit with very small amount of putty. Painted it with AK colours with leveling thinner. Just amazing colours. The only extra is an Aires seat.

Malaysian RF-5E Tiger Eye – Airfix 1/72

When I saw a pic of the Malaysian scheme in a magazine, I had to build it. I ordered a couple different sets of after market decals (none for an F-5), but they didn't fit the size of the model. I was surprised when I opened the box that [...]

Swiss F-5F Tiger IIItaleri 1/72 + scratch

I made this kit as an offer to my good friend Peter. His parents are from Switzerland and he keeps a strong bond to the country so, as I knew he likes planes in swiss colors... The Kit is from Italeri and it's not very impressive... The [...]
