f5guy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well I finally finished my first, and probably only, model for this group build. F-5F BuNo 160966 VFC-13 #32. This was my first build of the AFV F kit, and I'm pretty happy with it! Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill H Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well, I guess today is F-5F Saints day as I'm following Fred's beautiful creation. And just like him it may be my only submission. At 4.5 months into the group build I had hoped to have at least two completed by now. It too is the AFV kit. I used MM acryls, Alclad and FTD decals. Note: It wasn't until I took these pics I realized I forgot (hate when that happens)to install the small frame between the front and rear seats. As soon as I noticed that I took care of it.

Bill H Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Awesome job Bill! I love those Saints F-5s..... subjects just don't get much cooler than them! Fred. Thanks for the kind remarks, Fred. And I'll have to agree........their F-5s are pretty awesome. I see on another thread that you have quite a few pics of them going back (I think you said) 15 years. Did you ever capture them when they flew Hornets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hello Bill, did I missed the WIP thread of your awesome Double seat Tiger II? The grey scheme looks the coolest on that bird, the blue one is not bad too, also sundowners livery is nice. But yours is my fave for a Navy -F now!! (And I m curious about the colors you took for the paint job!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for the colors, they are FS36495, FS36375 and FS35237. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Bill, we need a WIP thread for the great model you finished to be included in the prize draw. It truly is a grand job, much better then I can do but a few photos during the build IS a requirement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Bill, Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the Saints Hornets. I was pointing my camera at trains at the time, until I ended up driving trains for a living. Now I could care less about trains!

I did this same jet years ago using the Monogram kit (completely re-scribed w/ Black Box cockpit set), and am happy with it, but this scheme looks so much better on the AFV kit. Great work ;0) Fred.

I was pointing my camera at trains at the time, until I ended up driving trains for a living. Now I could care less about trains! Fred. LOL, I can relate to a certain degree. There are so many great airframes and schemes I've seen over the years. Most of which were before I picked up a camera. Just thinking about it hurts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
