Title: F-5 Patrouille Suisse
Post by: Globetrotter on April 07, 2007, 02:42:27 AM
I just had to open this thread, although I haven't got the kit yet. ;D

So we can start disscussing and recommending from now :P

Oh!, Webmaster, do you know more or less when it is going to arrive?

Well, I saw many of you liked the idea of making it "Milavia" but how should I do that? can decals be made "at your liking"?

Yep, probably. I received an e-mail last week or the week before that it was sent off. So should arrive this week or next week.

Ok, then I'll have to wait... but it is such a great thing that I don't even care, I am still celebrating it... I can't just believe it, cause I had won NOTHING before 8) :D

I'll lett you know when it arrives, and I'll let you see how is the model (parts, of course) I will also have to buy an aerogrpah to paint it :)

Hmm, if it is a one-off, it will probably be quite expensive. I will ask someone who makes decals for special c/s aircraft.

Otherwise it's maybe an idea to put it on a piece of nice wood, and put a milavia.net plate on it.  ;)

well, yes, that last is a good idea :)

Or maybe take a picture of it "flying" with a Milavia sign behind, or something like that ::)

Now I've seen it! Wow It is amazing  :o

I like it very much, a very complete model, it also brings a "pilot" but it has straight legs... I think I'll have to "make an operation" on it for it to fit in the cockpit >:D It brings a ladder... Oh you can also leave the cannon open, for people to see hoe it is internally, there is also munition :o Very detailed thing :D and the decal set is overwhelming too. Fortunately, if not I would have to paint all the strips ans stuff of the Patr. Suisse.... :P

Well, i am just waiting to go and buy an aerograph to start having fun with it :D

pics coming soon

Unfortunately, I have no time for starting it! The school is killing me!!!!!!!! Ok, right now, this is a long weekend. Guess what? I am doing homework!!

It is sooo bad... maybe when the summer holidays come? I don't know, but i prefer not to do it in a rush ;) anyways, there is a hobby shop nearby, so i am getting exited about beggining, cause i know i'll have all the products to do it, even more now, with my brand new Argentine-made airbrush, 2 faces or whatever, (the complicated one), little less than 90 dollars. I also have a 1:32 pahntom to paint so... i'll get practice :D

I promise i tell you if I begin it :)

Hey Globe!

Didnt mean it to sound as im rushing you. Was just curious!  :)
Im glad im not in school any more, homework sucks! Even worse when you need to do them during a long weekend, or over a holiday.  :P

you didn't sound like if you were rushing me, it's cool!

maybe I sound as if you sound like if you were rushing me ::) ;D hehehe

yep hw sucks :-\ but i am sure it will be great.

You know, there is one on the web, but it is painted in agressor scheme. Even if it says Hasegawa, it is the same, the mold is the same.

Here I leave you the link just in case you want to see it finished.

Stop confusing me! LOL ;D

That was some really nice paintwork, both on the in and outside. Love the Aggressor-scheme, both the blue and brown one.  :)

I prefer the (blue-) grey ones http://www.milavia.net/specials/squadrons/vfc-13.htm (there are some links to other sites as well). The really blue and brown ones, like the USAF F-15s, are not that cool looking, looks cheap, but we'll just all think it's cool because it's something different than grey.

But there are so many options for you, would be difficult to pick one. Just make sure you don't paint your F-5E in F-5A/B or F colours, pls.  ;)
