Not going to start a hunger strike, but the F-5 is a cool little fighter. I'd love one in 1:18!

For some reason the F-5 has never interested me much. I suppose i'd get a Vietnam version, if ever made but that would be about it..

Size-wise it''s a good choice for 1/18 but i think an A-4 would be a better choice for the size.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Those things fly over here everyday, :wink:

On a side note:
Sunday before last I heard a jet, thinking it was another dog whistle, :roll:
Looked out of the shop and the Blue Angels came over, (I mean right over too. 1000 ft)

I love living on this hill. :)

Rogue,

You and Nathanita should get together since both of you work out at D/FW. I have relatives that live in Flower Mound and The father in law is an engineer at D/FW also. Send me a PM. we could meet at Christina's on FM1171.
