KEB Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi everyone! I'm looking for a 1/32 KH F-5E kit and a Black Box 1/32 F-5E cockpit set for sale or trade. I'm aware they are both becoming hard to locate, but I'd sure enjoy building and aggressor since I've been out to Fallon several times and have pics of the F-5 I want to build, really appreciate any help. I have several 1/48 Hornet and SU-35 kits I can trade Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

modelguy2 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It appears to me that the Kitty Hawk RF-5E has the parts included to build one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ReccePhreak Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Here's one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kitty-Hawk-KTH32018-Tiger-BUILDING/dp/B07DQS4466 It MAY seem pricey to you, but I really doubt you'd find one cheaper anywhere online. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KEB Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 thanks....now I just need the black box interior Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 1 hour ago, KEB said: thanks....now I just need the black box interior The Black Box 1/32 F-5E interior is designed for the Hasegawa 1/32 F-5E, so may not fit the Kitty Hawk kit. I sold mine last year when I decided to get the Kitty Hawk 1/32 RF-5E and decided I could just make do with the True Details seat for my Hasegawa F-5E kit. I'll probably never finish it, because like you, I don't look forward to rescribing the Hasegawa kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Pretty sure the True Detail set is just a rebox of the BB set. Here’s a build using the BB set in the KH F-5E kit. https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/78413-132-kitty-hawk-f-5e-kicked-up-a-notch-oct-319-finished/ Also, Quinta Studios have cockpit sets for the KH kits.

ReccePhreak Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Thanks for that link Dave, now I realize I probably should've kept my Black Box cockpit set. Reading through most of that excellent (RE)build, makes me wonder if I will ever build my KH F-5E & RF-5E. I have also had LOTS of the same issues with my other KH kits, which makes me think it's a good thing that KH went out of business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 really? you´d rather have no kit than one that needs work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 1 hour ago, karl h said: really? you´d rather have no kit than one that needs work? Where do you get that assumption? I said I have BOTH the KH 1/32 F-5E and the RF-5E (Which I may or may not ever build), as well as the old (But with less screwed up molding) Hasegawa 1/32 F-5E. Seeing as how Kitty Hawk never seemed to figure out how to use slide-mold technology, I think it's good they went bust. Just my opinion, others will disagree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 there are some KH kits that are not kitted in 32nd scale from anybody else, so i can not see the good in them going oob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
