F-5E COMPLETED

Stephan Ryll
Nice start Donald 👍

Donald Dickson II
Thank you sir. It is primed now. Paint tomorrow I believe.

Patrick Hagelstein
Wow! That surely is quick! 😮

Donald Dickson II
Patrick, this thing is BASIC. There are two sprues. That's it. And since it's an aggressor, I dont have to do weapons either.

Patrick Hagelstein
That makes sense. Curious to your color coat. 🙂

Donald Dickson II
Not a lot of bench time the last couple days. First color on though. Now you know Patrick. LOL

Patrick Hagelstein
😄 Gotcha!

Matthew Ashby
Looks good mate!
Have one I just recently bought, also the Italeri shark/duck nose (whatever it may be called) as well to finish.
Will use the Navy decals for the hobby boss kit and the left over Marines decals for the Italeri kit.

Slavo Hazucha
Hey Donald, so this little dude is sharing the bench with the 32scale A6? 😄 Looking good, hope the HB kit behaves better than the odd Vark!

Donald Dickson II
Slavo, yeppers. I was actually fiddling with the A-6 a bit last night. Nothing of any real consequence though. The intakes on this arent the best fit, but then I have that issue with every damn kit I do. Intakes just dont like me. LOL But a LOT better than that Vark was.

Donald Dickson II
Second and third colors on. Touch up and stuff to do. Also gotta do the metal exhaust area etc.

Greg Baker
Oh, that's looking good! I've got the same kit on the workbench, but it's not looking this nice!

Donald Dickson II
Thank you for the kind words Greg, but I dont believe that for a second! 🙂

Stephan Ryll
Colours looking good Donald 👍

Dave Flitton
Paint is looking GOOD! Keep going!

Donald Dickson II
Glossed and left side decaled

Slavo Hazucha
Looking more and more Soviet with every iteration... In an entirely positive way! 👍

Greg Baker
I have to say, I'm a little jealous of what you were able to achieve with the engines exhausts. Really top class.

Donald Dickson II
Thank you both! 🙂 The exhausts dont look half as good in person. But thanks again! 🙂

Donald Dickson II
Decals all done. She is now a dirty girl and has the main legs on. Next post will be the all done post.

Stephan Ryll
Very nice progress with that build Donald 👍

Donald Dickson II
All done! Not a subject I would have messed with but for the group build. Could use FOD covers as the intakes and exhausts are awful. Not a totally horrid kit though. Just lacking.

Greg Baker
You did a superb job with it though. Well done!

Patrick Hagelstein
I agree! Well done! 👍

Stephan Ryll
very nice build Donald 👍

Daniel
Maybe not the best kit the f5 market has to offer, but thats a nice little aggressor you built out of it 👍

Slavo Hazucha
Nice little angry Sand Snake!😉 👍

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
great !

Donald Dickson II
Thank you gentlemen! 🙂

Clifford Keesler
Nice one Donald.
