Finally closed up the fuselage nicely. I added some wash to see details better. Not bad for me. Next up painting!

One of the nicest jest ever. Succes Tolga. Do you make a specific TuAF F-5 your dad flew or just one of the many TuAf F-5's?

Tolga Toykoc
It will be a specific one. I don't have a photo of the plane but my dad recalls the serials and few details, so I'll rely on them.

Erik Leijdens
Ok Tolga your dad will be very pleased with that. Can you give me the serials? Maybe I can help with some pictures?

Tolga Toykoc
Oh that would be great! =)
I think I'll make the one with 5-375 written on the nose. It's serial is 64-13375, entered service in TuAF in 26.02.1985.

Thank you Erik. I've happened to find these pictures after a little search.

Nice progress on the cockpit Tolga. Is the seat included in the kit?

Thanks, yes Wolfpack kit comes with the resin seat, PE parts for cockpit and masks.
But parts fit is terrible. You have to bend many fuselage parts to maintain a decent fit.

very nice work on the cockpit...

Wolfpack uses the Kinetic plastic for this kit so you will need some extra attention when building one. I had build a Wolfpack T-38 Talon and that was a Wolfpack designed kit and of quite good quality with no big fit issues. Would had been nice when they also released a own F-5 😉

Tolga Toykoc
Yeah, I also have Kinetic F-5B in stash. I'll use my experiences from this F-5A on that kit. =) Need PE and resin seats for F-5B cockpit though. Any suggestions?

Wolfpack has some nice F-5A/B seats: scalemates.com/kits/248676-w..5b-freedom-fighter-seats-set

A PE set is still not available I think.

Tolga Toykoc
Just bought them few minutes ago! =) Let's hope PE set for B version to be available soon.
