Just noticed that the [link=http://www.skymasterjet.com/]Skymaster[/link] Web site has some new pics and an update on the F-5/T-38.... I am seriously excited about this new project and absolutely cannot wait until it is ready. I am already on the waiting list...Eric, can I have serial #2????? [sm=biggrin.gif][sm=biggrin.gif]

This thing looks absolutely killer, sized for a P-120 or similar (unless your name is Buck, then you'll stuff a rip-snorting AT-400 in there!)...what an awesome looking jet. Rumour has it that the prototype is supposed to be test flown this weekend, if anyone has any more info, PLEASE post it!

If the build quality is anything like my SM F-18, it is going to be one *****in' Jet!

She's just a little too skinny for me fellas.

The F5 is like the Svetlana Khorkina of the modern fighters...you see the similarity:

what in the hell????

sometimes skinny aint a bad thing.

freak showwwwwwwww!!!!

I guess your right Buck, if you were a little skinnier you'd look better in those tights you've been running around in!

Dooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!!! wait until you see me this weekend with my new speedo!!! like winnie the pooh baby.

Oh Yeah!!!!

you watching me through your binos again?

weirdo!!!

<<sometime skinny aint a bad thing.>>

Uhhh, spinner...

oh you wanna piece oh me too eh Vin?

I know I'm gonna lose this battle but...I"ll keep rustling the bushes until then.

FREAKS!!!

I've got just the jet for you, Joe.....

Barry

.

Jet for Joe......HA

red rover red rover let Joe come on over....

bring it!!

To get serious again (sorry Buck), I've been searching around and found a bunch of unusual paint schemes for the F-5....I'll post a couple....there are even a few scale "Sport" jet schemes one could do.

Obviously there are also the well known Swiss Patrouille and numerous Aggressor squadron schemes (I'm doing a Marine aggressor scheme myself).

Barry

A few more....including the ubiquitous Top Gun scheme

Barry

ahhh horse poop but nice pix.

Wow, i did know the F-5 was so popular, more color choices than the Home Depot paint dept. Hey Buck, you guys ever fly against an aggressor F-5?? what is the skinny their performance?? I hear they can wax a bug pretty quickly
V..

all depends on the man in the box amigo!!!

however, the F-5 is an all around great performing airplane.

gotta get to work.

c'ya

buck

Spent so much time looking at these come into the break at NAS Miramar that I could only do a USN or USMC aggressor.

The scheme on the BVM black Super Bandit is originally a Navy F-5 aggressor scheme, down to the #23 on the nose. I have a profile shot of the actual F-5 around here if you want it. Taken at Cecil Field in '89 or '90.

I can't stop staring at this, what a gorgeous machine, how much do you think I can get for a kidney? :P

How about this color scheme? This is the Skymaster F-5 prototype #1. She isn't naked now.

All it needs now is AIM-9 rails and woohoo!
