Kriss Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 My workshop doesn't like emptiness so an F5-E Freedom Tiger in 1:48 scale from Eduard has landed on it. It is not an Eduard release but a repackaged model. I have found some interesting extras for it which I will use in the model. The painting will be in Vietnam camouflage. So much introduction so I'm getting to work. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted December 12 Author Share Posted December 12 Work got underway and there was a bit of cutting, a bit of sanding and also a bit of gluing and something is already visible and can be painted. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted December 15 Author Share Posted December 15 A weekend at home and preparing for Christmas with the tidying up and the F5 model in the background, yes alternating with almost a night at the model. I wanted to keep taking photos of the progress of the build and when I realised I hadn't taken photos the model was almost assembled and already the start of the camouflage. And the fact that it folded without any problems and the extras fit so super too, the build went at a truly express pace. Nothing but cutting, cutting and sanding. I will make up for this with the next F5, yes the same version and the same additions but a different user. Revealing to you this one is in a museum near me, 130 kilometres from my home. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM The last workshop photo shows the already completed 1:48 scale F5-E Freedom Tiger model from Eduard, together with the extras I added to it. The build went literally at an express pace, the model itself and the extras fit perfectly, a very enjoyable build. And this is how the model of the aircraft F5-E ‘Freedom Tiger’ 73-00878, 63rd Tactical Wing, RVNAF, Bien Hoa, South Vietnam, 1974 looks like. And for the rest of the photos, please visit the gallery. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
