Albert Moore Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Excellent job on both models, Waco! I particularly like the sand/brown "00" F-5. The black/tiger stripe tail add a neat contrast to desert style camo. Cheers, Albert Edited March 1, 2013 by Albert Moore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scapilot Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Nice jobs. I am kind of regretting not doing more research and spending a few more bucks picking up the AFV E/F models of these kits as oppose to the Revell offerings. No doubt, they can still be made into a nice build as is, but I took a look the other day while meandering through my stash, and remembered the cockpit of the RoG F model is all one solidly constructed piece, and every time I see that I cringe at how i'm going to make that look good. You have done great with these though. Nice job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Looking good WACO!!!! I imagine the markings are from the FighterTown Sheet and is it all OOB? Paints are MM? Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waco Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks again. Emvar - the Sundowners bird is completely OOB. TwoBobs decals. The Snipers jet has an Aires cockpit wedged into it via sheer willpower, belt-fed curses, and a lubrication of blood from my sliced open finger. It's also wearing TwoBobs decals, from the F-5F "Double Trouble Bandits" sheet. Yes, all the paints are MM, although the desert scheme is custom mixed to my personal eyeballs' liking. Cheers!

Jinxter13 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Most definitely some great looking "Nickels", Waco.....however no aggressor birds..... or did I miss them from an earlier thread . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Waco, Both F-5s came out nice. How many hours did you spend masking the sniper bird for painting? Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
