Hello all, I'm back in ARC to show you one of my first models, the Airfix F-5A Freedom Fighter in 1/72 scale. This is a very poor kit, but a good modeller (not like me) could make a decent model of it. The kit was made out-of-the-box, except for the cockpit (is a photo print of the real one) and the canopy holder, which is scratch made.

The model was painted with Humbrol and Testors enamels using only a brush (the metalized effect is so bad) and it has a light dirty effect made with aquarels and pencil!

It is not a good kit, but if you are a rookie and you find it for less than $4... it may be useful to you for learning purposes.
