I seem to be on an F-5 kick of late. My ARC buddy Elmo (Emvar) came over a couple months back to nab more Hornets. Part of the trade involved a bunch of Freedom Fighters from every company that ever made a 1/48 plastic kit of one. One kit was the new AFV Club Freedom Fighter F-5E.

The AFV is way ahead of the otherwise perfectly buildable Monogram model. Much better in near every way, panel lines and all the tiny details we modellers seem to prefer. Even the kit decals give lots of options and in fact were used for this build.
Thanks Elmo, your were right.....I did like this kit. Oh, and do not worry about the dented front gear leg. I fixed that right after I noticed the issue with the photos.
