Peterairfix's Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter

[peterairfix]

Time to throw my victim into the ring and like most kits just the four pots one glue and brush and a whole silver aircraft to paint.
This one comes with additional flash and ejecter pin marks Galore.

First the wash and spin dry.

[peterairfix]

And all the instruments of torture.

[peterairfix]

And all to make this

one of my fave aircraft of all time, but good luck with that flash

You are welcome to that :rolling: The flash is bad. I shall certainly follow this.

A quick look on scalemates I have a 1966 vintage no wonder I have all that flash.

This one will give you a lot of work Peter, good luck with the flash and bent Sidewinder.:thumb2:

Now the fun has begun the poor pilot looks a bit blue the two fuselage halves went together ok but look at the nose got some sanding to do.

[minitnkr]

A tough one. Good luck. PaulE

[peterairfix]

Both wings on air intakes fitted terrible lots of sanding done the nose is a bit better and finally got some paint on but it's going to take a few coat's.

[papa 695]

Nice start Peter, it looks a lot like the first build I ever did already, but it was a Skyhawks.

[peterairfix]

Another couple of days and another couple of coat's of as it needs a good day or so to dry
But here's how it's looking.
