Northrop F-5E AREA88

[Paul]

Hi all!

This one I finished one year ago. It's the Northrop F-5E Tiger II from the anime "AREA 88". Let me start with one image of the "real" one:



It's the MiniHobby (HobbyBoss) F-5E on 1/72nd scale and the decals are from Bestfong Decals.













I hope you like it!

Paul.

Not familiar with the anime but the model looks great!

Great job.  Given the subject is from an anime the cartoony look the dark panel wash on the white paint gives it is appropriate.

very nice, i like Area88, seen both the OVA and the 2004 Anime, but i prefer the OVA with its F-20 Tigershark 
Shin also briefly flies an F-5E (although in a more modest color scheme).
i made a 1/144 version not to long ago

That does look nice

This anime stuff goes clean past me at around M 3.5, but the modelling is terrific, nice job.

lovely looking version of Shins jet, the unicorn is more subtle than the manga one ( possibly the advantage of the Anime  one being in full colour)
but a big    from me here.

Same here!

Really rather good. I've only seen the original Area 88, not the newer series, but your build really looks the part.

That is very nice. One of the best F5's I've seen

Very nice ! Makes a sleek and beautiful aeroplane somehow even more so ! The colours look great. Would make a nice display team scheme.

Great stuff, really looks the part. I love Area 88, and I think this is a great representation of Shin's plane. I agree that the panel lining really makes it look like the F-5 from the anime, too.
