AREA 88: F-5A FREEDOM FIGHTER (SHIN)

Album image #1
A very nice box... big! 
 

Album image #2
The spures have a bit of flash, but not unusual considering the age of the molds. 
 

Album image #3
As always, cockpit first. 
 

Album image #4
The decals fit nice and cleanly... good news! 
 

Album image #5
The fit is a bit suspect... putty will be needed. 
 

Album image #6
After a bit of putty and sanding, it's looking a lot cleaner. 
 

Album image #7
Not quite clean enough. I can still see a bit of a seam... how much do I care? 
 

Album image #8
A first coat of light brown... I wonder how much of the undershading will be retained once I'm done. 
 

Album image #9
First camouflage coat. As I suspected... the undershading is already disappearing. 
 

Album image #10
Second camouflage done... now for some aluminium undercarriage bits. 
 

Album image #11
Album image #12
Hmmm... somethings missing... oh, yeah. The cockpit! 
 

Album image #13
Weathering complete... now just some decals to add.
