That's looking mighty fine, Toolslinger - good recovery! 

Been trying to think what the new tiger scheme reminds me of - think I've seen similar (but not the same) shades on an Indian MiG-21. That's a very "tigerish" sharkmouth, with it's scalloped gum-line and all - nice choice! 

Now a suggestion, although it might be a bit late since you've already made the wing pylons.

The further outboard you go an a swept wing, the harder it is to mount big stores, because you're getting further and further behind the centre of gravity. For this reason, MiG-17s (dunno about -15s), -19s, Su-7s etc... often had inboard pylons ahead of the main gears. These plyons had to stretch a long way forward of the leading edge for obvious reasons, and even then, they couldn't carry very long stores.

Your triple stores (what are they, by the way?) might just go on such an inboard pylon, although they're pretty long themselves.

The triple stores are just very bad HVARS from a Lindberg F-100  I used two different pylons I had in the (limited) stash o parts I have with me on the road.
The backstory is that after receiving the MiGinas from Venezuela the Texicans use the design to build their own version with uprated engines ,weapons ,and avionics (as well as an extremely sexy tinted canopy ) but due to a lack of area ruling they remain subsonic. They are primarily used as bomber intercepters, and ground support craft. They do see limited use as fighters but are to be replaced in that role by 1965.
Thanks for all y'alls comments . I hope to get more done today

Have to love that Eddie Crazy Legs Miller decal, and the Don't tread on me is one of my favorites of all time.

Looking good STS.  Love the decals on it.

Yeah that's what you get when you build models in hotel rooms

[Weaver]

Move that craft knife before you stab yourself in the leg with it!  Tch - bet you used to run in the corridor with scissors when you were at school, didn't you.....

The markings look very good indeed - what's the panel under the nose with the triangular shape on it?
