1/32 Hasegawa F-5N Tiger II VFC-111 Sundowners 2007
Posted by Grant Dalzell on Saturday, February 13, 2016 11:48 PM

I did not realize when I bought this kit it was so old (1987 it first was tooled I think?), anyway it has raises panel lines and I did not feel like re-scribing it (Life is too short). Decals are not the best either, probably old.

Intakes are horrible so I made up some FOD covers with tissue and water thinned pva glue. Also made up a harness. Other wise it is OOB. Real *** killer this one for me.

Paints used- Gunze acrylics for main camo. Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, AK Xtreme metals and Gunze Mr Metalizers. Flory dark dirt wash and MIG satin varnish (really nice product)

Cool build of perhaps my favorite navy squadron! Looks like he's about to surprise some Hornet with those cannons.

I love this bird. Nice build.

By the way, I wouldnt worry too much about raised panel lines and rescibing them. It's really a thing only rivet counters would notice, the kit looks good as is.

Love the Tiger! Beautiful build!  Just sad that the Sundowners arent flying thoroughbreds anymore.
