    VNAF F-5B. VNAF F-5A
  2. I love the idea of turning scale models to art , and have been messing around with it for some times . This is my 1/48 Academy F-8F Bearcat .
  3. Whoa you made it looks as easy as pie or eating pork rib rice ( Dễ như ăn cơm sườn) ! :) Love it !
  4. My favourite method is gluing a piece of stretched spure with diameter slightly larger than the width of the panel line to be filled . Wait until they dry hard then sand .

    Thanks RKic . Oh yes F-5B did serve the Vietnam war . VNAF used them to train fresh pilots to be combat ready . All VNAF F-5's ( and other VNAF air-crafts ) with black and yellow checker bands were from VNAF 23rd Tactical Wing Bien Hoa AB.
  7. No objections! but come on, I am pretty sure you can multitask :P B) :D Looking forward to see your build .
  8. Very impressive start, professional illustration too I think vacuum form is a good idea just a small suggestion: If you are going heat form it how about heat form whole forward section including the wind screen in clear PET plastic hmmm might be a lot of work to create the master. But if you decide plug the whole nose in it should be ok because in 1/72 no one will see the instrument panels control yoke, cockpit floor ... only the seats and the pilots but you would have to look really hard :) . Oh if you are going to heat form it please do not throw away the master. VNAF had a lot of
  9. Messing around with my newly built VNAF F-5B . A bit of trial and error but I think this is a cool way to present scale models in its natural setting . The model is the old 1/50 Fujimi F-5B updated with wolfpack resin cockpit and home made decals .

    99.9 % of my built are Vietnam war subjects especially VNAF . I like to to join the VNW GB still pondering what to build . Here is one which I just completed, the 'ancient' 1/50 Fujimi F-5B rescribed and updated with resin Wolfpack cockpits, central fuel tank from Kinetic F-5B . Weapons courtesy of Monogram 1/48 Skyraider , pilots modified from Monogram 1/48 A-37 kit .
  11. North Korea pilots also served in North Vietnam, flying combats missions and claimed to shoot down US aircrafts . Though, North Vietnamese Communist always denied presence of the foreign troops on its soil during the Vietnam war . An article published in a Vietnamese newspaper in August 2007 reported that in 2002 the bodies of the 14 North Korean Air Force personnel killed during the Vietnam War had been buried in a cemetery in Vietnam’s Bac Giang Province and had been disinterred and repatriated to North Korea. In a letter to the newspaper to correct several mistakes made in the original art
  12. Thanks I got that in English/French :) . I need the rest in French if possible .
  13. Could any one tell me what these instructions in French were ? I think the top one under canopy rail reads : POUR OUVRIR ET REFERMER APPUYER ICI Could not read the one below it or on the engine compartment panels do you know what they were ? Many thanks in advance .
  14. Very nice Skyraider ! You did a superb job . PS I think Skyraider designation is A1-H not AH-1 (which is Cobra) .

    Many thanks for your very kind words . And sorry for late reply . Though I am vey tempted to claim credits but I must admit that most of the credits should go to my trusty Rebel Xti Canon . Most of the time I used full automatic mode . The faded out USAF marking on the B-57B was home made decal . To achieve the faded out effect I reduced the opaque of the lettering using a photoedit sofware to make it almost transparent . Below is one of my more recent work : VNAF Flying Tiger 516 FS . The kit is 1/48 Monogram Skyraider with home made decals. I apologize if I am posting to wron

    VNAF O-2A built from the old 1/48 Testors 0-2A the kit I got in my stack was so old that the decal had turned yellow. Towards the end of the Viet Nam war VNAF had 2 0-2A squadrons . Pictures of VNAF 0-2A are extremely rare . Though I am quite sure that Viet Nam flag would be painted on the vertical tails but it was left blank at this stage due to lack of reference.
  19. These are not a drawing and I am no aviation artist . I am just a normal modeller messing around in digital photography with his finished model . I hope you guys won't mind me posting my works here among many talented aviation artists which I admired very much . The Skyraider is the old 1/48 Monogram Skyraider though a very old kit but I think with enough care and love can be built into a presentable Skyraider .

    Thanks guys . Sorry for late reply . I used mostly aluminum foil for my natural metal aircraft . I reckon nothing is more natural metal than real natural metal :)/> One of of my recent VNAF builds . This is Hobbyboss 1/72 . The kit is quite ok , except for the windscreen and windows they are just way too thick .

    Many thanks for all of your kind comments . All of my flightline / runway shots were done outdoor in natural sun light . The background skyscape is real sky. Tarmac is a piece of mdf painted grey with some marking.The revetment is scratch built . The ground equipments are from Hasegawa kit . I can relate to what you were saying . sometimes when I looked through the camera view finder to take these pics. I often was reminded of my own happy childhood memories back in 'Nam :D Here is another one . Hope you will enjoy . Italeri 1/72 F-5A
