Italeri (Hawk) 1/48 F-5A

by Spiros Pendedekas on January 11, 2022 · in Aviation — 43 Comments

Small and highly aerodynamic, focusing on performance and a low cost of maintenance, smaller and simpler than its contemporaries, it is not surprising that the F-5 is quite a few times referred as “the F-16 f its time”. Designed for a [...]

Top Gun “Mig”, F-5E Hobbyboss 1/72.

by Robert Royes on March 27, 2020 · in Aviation — 8 Comments

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

by DIONYSIOS MOYKRIOTIS on May 8, 2019 · in Aviation — 18 Comments

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

by Greg Kittinger on April 3, 2019 · in Aviation — 17 Comments

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 II – Italeri 1/72 + scratch

by Manuel Magrinho on October 22, 2018 · in Aviation — 23 Comments

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 [...]

by David Mills on November 29, 2017 · in Aviation — 7 Comments

This F-5E Tiger has been built for some months although , life has gotten in the way and I have only just got around to posting it. Its a very inexpensive kit with 4 nice decals schemes including my favorite for the USMC VMFT 401 'the [...]

by Greg Kittinger on September 21, 2017 · in Aviation — 12 Comments

This is my first of 2 entries for the Year of the Cat group build. I already had this on my 2017 build plan, so was happy about that! This is an older kit that was recently reboxed with new art and the Sundowners aggressor decals (among [...]

VnAF F-5A ‘Freedom Fighter’

by IAN JACKSON on February 19, 2017 · in Aviation — 16 Comments

Hey folks, my most recent (two hours ago) completed project - The 1:48 Kinetic F-5A/C 'Freedom Fighter'. Mostly the kit was an easy and rewarding build - I say mostly as the fit of the intakes was laughable, not so much as a gap at the [...]
