Since I'm working on Shin's F-5E... and everyone seems all excited about F-5s for the Aggressor GB, I thought I'd give the F-5A a try as well. It's neat to work on an F-5E and F-5A side by side... you can really see some of the differences.

I changed the nozzle and it seems to blowing less bubbles. It's still a bit temperamental though. I haven't quite ruled out user error on all of the problems yet, so I haven't been planning an upgrade... but I think one will come eventually.

What sort of airbrush do you use. Have you tried sharpening the needle

AAAAAnnnd... we're all done with this one too. An ancient kit, but still better than the more recent Hobby Boss F-5E in my opinion. Very interesting to do both the F-5A and F-5E side by side as a duo build. Somehow just looking at pictures doesn't quite show off the differences as having both of them right in front of you.

Interesting that you like the Esci better. Regardless, it looks great!

Pretty big scale for you Greg! Should be interesting just how much detail you can get into this sucker!
