1/144 Revell F-5E converted to a F-5N from VFC-13 Fighting Saints"


Recommended Posts

Here's another build using the Revell F-5E kit to convert it to a VFC-13 F-5N Fighting Saints. The build approach is similar to my earlier build of the VMFT-401 F-5N. I decided to have it painted in the lizard scheme as I quite liked the colour scheme.

 

Enjoy the photos. Here's wishing all ARCers and modellers alike a very Merry X'mas and Happy New Year 2024 ahead.

The paint scheme is really sharply done. I've noticed you fixed the kit's backwards Sidewinder rails - is there any other modification you make to the kit?

 

Yes. The sidewinder rails were moulded wrong way round. Re-build the nose for the shark nose style using plastic strip. Replaced the original exhaust which appeared too tapered with 4mm size tube thinned down from the inside. And then the RWRs and AOA add- ons. Created an ECS vent on the left side of the canopy.
