Outstanding! I am amazed at how well those decals adapted to that aircraft! It's like they were meant for it. Well done!

thank you. It was a bit of a challenge figuring out where to put each section so they would all fit. I added some in with a brush too

That turned out nicely. Great save on the canopy and the tiger color scheme looks good, it could enter on any Tiger Meet.

As a suggestion, I think the glare panel does not look as neat as the rest of the build. Even when brush painting you can use masking (like Tamiya tape) to get thight lines.

I have done two tiger meet aircraft in 1/72 scale. I could only say that's it requires a lot of patience and hard work. Great work on the F-5!
