A new F-5 kit?

It looks like it. Wolfpack Designs, who up to now are best known for 48th scale, are apparently going to do a 72nd scale F-5.  This is good as the Italeri kit is old and the Hobbyboss isn’t that good.

Announcement here.  I am unclear if this is a new mold or if Italeri is leasing another company’s mold.  I am interested as this version hasn’t been done by Eduard (yet).

Italeri SM.81

I assume this is the old Supermodel kit.  I don’t know if Italeri has done anything to the molds.

AB41 Finished

I am not sure when I started building the Italeri AB41 in 72nd scale.  I know it was several years ago.  This one was started for an MMCL  challenge build, but not finished in time.  It then languished on the Shelf of Doom.  I just recently dragged it on to the bench and finished it.  Honestly it didn’t take that much.  My build was far from perfect and this is the first armor kit I’ve finished in about 20 years.  I am not really happy with the result, but I’m not sad either.  I am happy to get one from the Shelf of Doom finished.

Model completed

The AB41 from the shelf of doom is done.  This feels real good.

The Italeri AB41 from the shelf of doom is almost done.  It looks like it will make it across the finish line in 2017.

Great 72nd scale news, even if you know it will be an arm and a leg from Italeri
