Jasper BreurThat's going to be an interesting build, have fun!
12. July, 15:16
Jos JansenThx Jasper, sure absolutely...
!
Lots of interior PE in the cockpit and finished it with Mr.Surfacer...!
13. July, 20:58
Jos JansenThe Dutch NF-5 was equipped with a Canadian Marconi Type 668 Doppler navigation system and 703 navigation system with a roller map. The Eduard PE was not providing this equipment on the display...!
16. July, 05:45
Nathan DempseyThe cockpit is coming along great. Is that white rectangle to be the missing equipment placard?
16. July, 13:23
16. July, 18:51
Slavo HazuchaI'll better check in too... the seat details really help - good start on the hybrid Model-PE-scratch cockpit

Michael PhillipsLooks like I am late to this party, but better late than never!
Cockpit looks fantastic Jos. Looking forward to watching this progress. I don't have any Kinetic F-5s, but I do have two AFVs. I wonder how they compare?

Nils Steyaertlooks good, ive never seen an AIM-7 on an F-5E before (with the exception of the F-20). for some reason it looks right
17. June, 13:43
Jose RomoI agree with you Nils, never seen it F-5, but since it looks good on the F-20, i decided to use it!
17. June, 13:50
DanielCool, great job! Why did I never think of using stairs as a photo background...nice
17. June, 14:00

Casey BeckettJust starting -
Opening auxiliary air doors, blanking out void in nose wheel well.
Got the EXCELLENT AK3D landing gear today in mail - WOW! These are LOVELY. Hope the pictures do them justice. Much better than pictures on Etsy.com showed. (2nd generation set maybe?) Worth the short wait. I recommend
them!
Will use PJ Production pilot(s)to get proper pose for driver. Beautifully molded figures.
Pavla seat is very good, only had to grind off the belts to get the pilot seated correctly.
This is gonna be fun......
Got the idea when I last read Red Storm Rising, wanted to depict the launch of the ill fated recce trying to find the Soviet fleet "The Norwegians sent their last RF - 5 in to look , and it disappeared . ... "
25. February, 21:14
Erik LeijdensLooks promising Casey! Interesting story too. But you shouldn't have opened the aux doors, only the CF-5A/B and NF-5A/B had them. The Norwegians had plain F-5s..
25. February, 21:23
Casey BeckettOOPS! Just rechecked all my pictures - you are right! Thanks. I'll refill them! You'd think with 4 different books on this bird I would have noticed that!
25. February, 21:41
Casey BeckettClear as day - Motorbooks "F-5 Warplane for the World" 6 great shots of RNAF F-5s (Two are of RF-5As) NO AUX doors. Thanks, Erik!

Jim HutterAre Monogram versions of the Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter derived from the 1962 Aurora mold? The scale and timeline seem to match up. I do not want to make changes until I am certain.

13. August 2019, 18:21

9. August 2019, 23:05
