viper730 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Saw the new Furball Sheet for VFC-111's F-5N's, some really cool schemes on there, I think Geoff had the AFV Club kit in mind. Anyone know if it will work for those F-5N's the sheet depicts...I was looking at the Swiss F-5E in particular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the "MiG-28" AFV F-5 kit has the proper parts for the Sundowners F-5's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The Swiss Tiger kit SHOULD work for you. I say "should" since I have not personally inspected the kit. However, the box art shows that the Swiss jet has the late style modifications, and so far that I've seen, AFV is spot on with getting the necessary mods correct. The ROKAF version should have the mods as well. If you can find the release with Sundowners jet on the cover, that one has the mods for sure (I've got a stack of this release). The ones that you do not want to model an F-5N/late F are the E or F release with USAF jets as the art work. They are both early version F-5s with the old style round nose, and no wing root LEXs.

viper730 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks for the info ...I looked at the boxings you mentioned and it seems all have the same sprues so the Swiss boxing should do the trick... F5guy sent you a PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Building the AFV F-5F right now. Great little kit that is a little over-engineered, but still a fun and well detailed build. Just take your time. I got the black primer coat on last night. Here is a WIP so far: Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi everyone, Just a heads up...... Academy recently re-released the AFV F-5E kit as a "KF-5E" under their brand. It can be had on ebay for around $40 shipped. This kit has the modifications that you will need to build any of the Sundowners F-5N's on the excellent Furball sheet Collin....... please post a pic of your F when its done. Below is a pic of the one that I did for the aggressor group build a few years back ;0) Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
