Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Re: Flying Tiger F-5
Outstanding! I am amazed at how well those decals adapted to that aircraft! It's like they were meant for it. Well done!

Re: Flying Tiger F-5
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

Re: Flying Tiger F-5
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.

Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

Nice work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

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!
