Northop F-5 E Tiger II in 1/200 scale

[Doubting Thomas]

California Tigers:

Thought I try Chaiwat's tiny F-5's but in Navy Miramar "Top Gun"
ACM colors.

I think they are using F16's now and some of the units have been
retired.

Some fiddling is needed on the cockpit canopy and you can see
where I missed the brown camo on the spine.

Dear all,

I am very happy to see my F-5 in color.

Thanks,

Swiss Air Force.

Lot of issues with this one but well... the next one is ready for assembly (Austrian Air Force).

Dear all,

I am too busy to make my tiny's work but after seeing your people works. It's really inspire to me. I am eager to make the Tiger II family again.

Thanks for sharing, folk!! =)

I'd like to see Doubting Thomas's finished agressors. I love the VFC-111 planes (and the VFC-13 ones).

My austrian aircraft is finished. I'm glad I waited a few days before assembling the different parts. I was more relaxed and the build went smoothly. I still have some issues with the canopy (my own) and the nose cone but the austrian plane is better built than the swiss one.

Of course, it's only after I've built 4 F-5E that I realized I shoud have cut 1 or 2 millimeters from the rear of the parts forming the air intakes.

Hi,

Been busy with work stuff and got back to making the tiny planes
this past weekend.
Cafe, there's also a special one at the end, you can add the
VFC-111 "Sundowners" I colored to your collection.

Might be nice to bump up the scale to 1/72 or bigger.

So...keep building and "Watch your Six!":D

Yay for aggressors ! Love the pics. I'm still amazed at people who can roll such tiny tubes.

Thanks for the VFC-111 plane ! Now, if only the color printer at work would actually print...

The undowners scheme is awesome! Thanks for posting it.
