Many thanks Willy! Looks interesting.

I am building the F-5E kit right now and it was a pleasure (Aeroscale Build log). Though I like that camo scheme, do you know which other will be included?

all the best

Wow, thats bad news!

Hope there is no damage to the original tool of the F-5E .. it was really fun to build it and I will probably do another one ... some day. And I also hope that the damage is repairable as I find this Recce bird really interesting.

all the best

Hi Willy

That is indeed bad news!

I'm still looking forward to getting the original kit one day - it sold out in the UK almost immediately!

All the best

Something similar happened to Eduard with their Fw190 D-11/13 and F6F-3 hellcat tools lately... Mmmmh, is there a curse on plastic model kit manufacturers at the moment...
