AREA 88: "The Olive Grove" (F-5A)
1April 24, 2019There’s something alluring about this all-white box.
2April 24, 2019The sprues are... less appealing. So let’s Work some magic.
3April 24, 2019Wait... magic is called off. Look at the size of this behemoth. 1/144 indeed!
4May 5, 2019So let’s backdate the Ace F-5E back to an F-5A... some trimming required.
5May 6, 2019A bit of cutting, then a bit of trimming, then a bit of filling and a bit of putty.
6May 6, 2019Actually looks a bit like and F-5A, don't it?
7May 9, 2019Top and bottom both painted. Now for some camouflage.
8May 11, 2019Hmmm... that’s a bit too lime for my taste... might need a second go.
9May 12, 2019Yeah. That’s the ticket!
10May 12, 2019Final details coming together.
11May 13, 2019Wheels on... now, about that canopy...
12May 14, 2019Canopy masked and painted, and the hinge scratched up and painted.
13May 14, 2019Whew! It fits! The canopy is open.
14May 15, 2019A panel wash, and this one is going in the books... now to start on the other half of this build...
