Thanks Daniel, much appreciated! I am still experimenting with techniques to see what works best.
Oh yeah, many different camo schemes for Navy and Marines. Depends where they fly or are stationed.
Here is but a few examples…
And keep in mind they were flown in Vietnam.
I should have gone with the grey and blue camo, my fav…but the kit showed the version I built and it would be accurate for Vietnam or training.
Landing gear installed…
I started the painting on the gear bay doors…see ya next time!

Also aggressor squadron for Top Gun school. That's why these have a red star on the tail.
F-5E Tiger II is finished!
I added bombs and missiles after adding all the gear doors and arrestor hook.
And on the shelf…
See ya next time!

F-5 Tiger
And finally…the current collection…
I have 68 built, 32 in boxes and another 9 in shipping. The kits are on my lower shelves while I organize my closet. They have to move soon because I need my shelves!
Perhaps I need intervention?

Ok…organization with a plan!
The 2 American WW2 shelves will be filled with 6 more aircraft I have in boxes.
The German WW2 shelf will be full with 1 more aircraft I have in a box.
The RAF WW2 shelf will be full with 2 more I have in boxes.
The Japanese WW2 shelf will be full with 2 more aircraft I have in boxes.
The last shelf of WW2 will be full with 1 more Russian, 2 Italian and 1 French aircraft I have in boxes.
The 2 upper WW1/biplane shelves will hold the 9 aircraft I have in boxes and a few more.
The jets are on the upper 9 ft shelf and I already have more kits than shelf space on my growing jet collection.
So…it looks like I need to add another shelf for the jets to expand. I have time because I have plenty to build before it becomes a problem.

If you want to do something different, you can make an F-21 aggressor. 
Basically it's an IAI Kfir.

Thank you! Glad you like it.
I have the F-5, and a F-20, and I will most likely get a T-38 trainer. So I’m not sure I need to expand beyond that, but I will definitely keep it in mind.If you want to do something different, you can make an F-21 aggressor.

I’m at it again…
I have started the sub assemblies that go into the fuselage halves. I think I have 2 or 3 more prior to assembling the fuselage.
I haven’t told you what I’m building because I think most of you can figure it out.
Hint - It’s an aircraft that I need for one of my shelves to even it out.

You've created a very nice F 5. Now WW1 is back on track with the Mercedes D III engine.
Thank you Adi, a Mercedes engine indeed!You've created a very nice F 5. Now WW1 is back on track with the Mercedes D III engine.
Who is the kit manufacturer? Roden? It looks very detailed !
I think I know which plane it is.
I don't want to spoil the fun for others trying to guess.
edit: Oh, I guess @pianoforte already said what it is.

It’s an Eduard kit, the best for 1/72 WW1. After that Roden is the second best.Who is the kit manufacturer? Roden? It looks very detailed !

The majority of my WW1 kits are Roden.
Ps- it’s a Mercedes engine, but what is it going in?
If no one replies, I'll respond tomorrow.

Trying to figure out what plane this requires a skill similar to those who can “count” in a game of cards. You would have to remember what planes you have already built. For me, something that is impossible!
