F-20 Tigershark 1/48 Freedom model kits 

sometimes frustrating but still relaxing :)

bob dyer Thank you Mr!

thank you very much!

thank you!

+PrincipalDrew's Scale Models thank you. Yes I love it too

Joshua Nelson thank you!

BigGoy2009 thank you!

Michael Lewis thanks for watching!

Thank you !

DevInvest Thank you very much for kind words, I really appreciate it. I hope you're getting well and fully recover. Do you intend to go back to scale modelling? A lot of people do, a did as well after years.

Scale Hangar 182 Thank you for the kind reply.. I think I id like to., it’s a bit overwhelming to think right now - lol- when I was a kid there were no airbrushes,, or PLASTIC GLOVES.. I did make hella mess with spray cans though trying to mask off etc.. genius ideas with the silly putty etc.. I wouldn’t EVEN know where to start putting together the proper tools and paints! 🌟How about a T33 Thunderbird/F80 Shooting Star! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XOTdma6cxp0.html I love the 1950-1969 era Military Jets.. $&@! Was so futuristic especially the stuff from BELL... crazy cool!

ScaleModelAlberta thanks you very much!

cheeeers! ;)

EmilBuilds se Thank you!

yep, these are awesome schemes.

Thanks again!

Thank you!

Ohh don't watch in the dark, it's bad for your eyes 😆

It also made parts of the reveal a bit pointless, as it hides your hard work and skill.

Are you ? :)

Storm KILM thank you sir!

Yep. This was fixed in 2 latest videos, Phantom and F15

I think you talking about F-5 😁

Topher Bec -- They only finished 3 F-20s in total; they started on a fourth F-20 but it was scrapped when the program ended. Two of them crashed, 1 survived and is in a museum. The last time an F-20 flew was probably back before the end of 1986 when they cancelled the program. The big visual differences between the F-20 and F-5 are A) most noticeably, the single engine on the F-20 which is the same basic engine (GE F404) used on the F-18A-D Hornet and B) the flatter, broader profile of the F-20 nose (which is where the plane gets its name) is less needle-like than the F-5 nose. Later production F-5E's and some earlier production F-5E's were retrofitted with F-20 type noses because it was found that type of nose improved airflow around the airframe and increased the aircraft's maneuverability under certain conditions.

Cheers !

​@@ScaleHangar182what conversion set did you use to make a two seat F-20?

@@jaws848 it's not a conversion, this is the kit.

@@ScaleHangar182 i notice that now...its a what if..a 2 seat F-20 doesnt exist and never did

iamrichrocker Maybe they come in time :) Thank you mate.

John Burdis thank you!

Thank you!

@@ScaleHangar182 you are welcome..

+martin dare thank you very much!

Dzieki bardzo!

Congrats on finding it. I think I have to make it harder next time ! :) and I will ^^

+Brian Messier thanks!

Johnny Alberty glue melts not only a plastic but a paint as well

Hahaha yes it's mine, and well as P-39 🖖

@@ScaleHangar182 You're right! I had to check. They spell your name as David and Dawid, which is it? You're Polish, right?

yes, Dawid @@vixiki

thank you

Jarek Smolec dzięki!

Back then I coated all again. No e I coat only decals with gloss before weathering. Later I seal everything wit Matt or satin

@@ScaleHangar182 Thank you sir.

hello, thank you for your comment. Yes i have done more model kits and always working on something. This is my most recent build ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tiO5pOhEqTw.html links to facebook page facebook.com/groups/1027907280562301/ or Tumblr foxdie182.tumblr.com/ or instagram Everythimg is actually here on main page of my RU-vid channel,

Point Alpha Models pretty much the same I guess. Look on ebay for silly putty. I got those funny ones packed in "eggs"

Scale Hangar 182 ok thank you! :)

It says on the video 😎

But can`t you tell me !!

Hi. Sorry for a late reply. I don't do anything special. I'm actually trying not to brush paint with Tamiya as there are more designed for airbrushing. But sometimes, small pieces I do brush

No worries, i asked because tamiya are not for brush but i see your point. I saw a guy who fixes academy kits i think and he uses a kind o napkin for the color..and he paints with brush and tamiya only..strange really. Keep up the good work :)

It's a US Navy air force tail markings of Sundowners Squadron. Have a look online. Sundowners had F-14s as well

No bright effects for over a year :)

Correct ! 😁

This video was made before phantom and F-15. No intro woman back then :) thanks

Sinan ÇINAR looks cool !

Michael Dudek tak wyszło dziwnie trochę bo miało być pod muzykę :) Będzie lepiej następnym razem :)

Nadal wszystko było bardzo dobre.

+Michael Dudek dziękuję

Sorry. I fixed that problem with my F-4 Phantom video

Saw that already. it is marvelous. thanks for sharing your skills with us.

There is no such thing as perfect model kit.

And definitely I'm not perfectionist

Shalako Jones Hello. I know that there was 3 F-20's build. The painting and markings on this one are "what if.." as these markings are real VFC-111 F-5 Sundownes

Shalako Jones Always enjoy the comments,......yours is interesting! Working there must have been VERY interesting!

Shalako, I'd guess you'd know about that plane, then! (That was meant as a joke...) I've felt for a while that the F-20 was one of the prettier fighter planes that never went into production. I'd go so far as to say it was a better-looking plane than even the F-5 or T-38. The F-5 is still an elegant-looking little beast if not a bit on the cute side for a fighter! (And I can't believe I just wrote that about an inanimate piece of metal!) I never heard of or saw plans for an F-20B (probably the model designation for a two-seater/trainer) but I think had the F-20 gone into a decent production program (at least 350 planes) your company would have eventually had to fabricate a two-seat version. I understand it was an economy measure to NOT build a two-seater F-20 at the beginning. After all, Northrop invested $2billion of its own cash into the F-20 project (NO GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY!!!) and it was a substantial write-off in the end. Heh -- and you catch glimpses of F-20 ideas and techniques years later in rebuilds of F-5s (later F-5s have flat "Tigershark" noses allegedly for better agility at high angle of attack) and some of the NEW jet trainers that have materialized in the last 10-15 years! I know the F-20 radar (APG-67?) was used in later aircraft projects and that the F404 engine has probably become the most ubiquitous "light engine"/J79 replacement in-service. The X-29, F-117, and KAI T-50 Golden Eagle all used that engine, too! Whether the canopy situation would have been separate pieces/separate canopies for the aircrew in the F-20B (like the existing F-5B/F) OR a long, single shared canopy for BOTH aircrew (like they had for ALL the two-seater Teen Fighters) is something we'll never know. Something that people miss is that the two-seat F-5's had fuselage extensions (they were longer than the single-seat F-5s) to accommodate both pilots INSTEAD of cutting back on a fuel tank and fitting the second seat into the plane like they did on the later F-16 and F-18 trainers that also have also the bumped-up, canopies that are longer than the single seater canopies. The F-20 had its good points and bad points. One things, for sure... I think the USAF is wondering if it waited too long to procure a replacement trainer for the T-38. They can't keep those jets going forever. I think they've had at least two rebuilds. Had they gone ahead with something like an F-5G/F-20A, who knows, maybe that would have been the basis for a new trainer! That's how the whole T-38 story began. It WAS essentially the two-seat version of the F-5 as it was planned. They shared the same design/model number within Northrop: N-156F for the F-5, N-156T for the T-38. Other than the LERX unique to the F-5's wings, the T-38 was practically identical in most respects to the F-5B (itself a trainer)! The F-5 was supposed to be built first but got deferred a few years because the USAF didn't want a plane that small, that simple.

@@AvengerII Of course the conversation is speculation, but I think it certainly would been a single canopy. The dual is part of what makes this like an F-5E up front and on top, and F-20 at the intakes and rear. But that's on the model manufacturer, not the builder here. The builder did excellent with the package produced....

Yep. Have a look on newer videos
