I've had practically zero bench time lately, but I'm home all weekend for the first time in awhile. I hope to wrap these two up this weekend and start on the next pair.

picknpluck Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 ...and that's a wrap! Final thoughts: the AFV Club F-5 is VERY nice. It misses greatness because of not having intakes. This was very disappointing for a kit of this quality. Other than that, I'd suggest a Quickboost seat and an aftermarket set of decals. The Monogram kit is old. It's got seams so deep, the RV Petrel needs to explore it. The surface detail is raised and somewhat sparse when compared to the AFV Club kit. BUT...its still got a very nice cockpit and decent detail in the gear bays. It also feels more solid. This kit exposed my weakness in scribing. A skilled and patient builder can still turn out a beautiful result with this kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kurt H. Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 great work. I agree with your conclusion, I had pretty much the same experience with these two kits,. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
