Siam Scale is a decal company based in in Bangkok and their decals focus mostly on Air Forces of the Far East, but they also do decals for aircraft of other Air Forces....such as Israel.  This 1/48 decal sheet features 3 different versions of markings for two different F-5's with the Royal Thailand Air Force.  

There are enough stencils included to build 2 of the 3 planes featured on this decal sheet.

Aircraft #1 is a F-5 plane #23101 finished in a green/green/tan paint scheme.  Markings are colourful and include a leaping Tiger noseart with red text that reads "The Oldest Tiger" on the side of the forward fuselage.  On the tail is more attractively done text that reads "30 Years of 38438 The First F-5B in the World TIGER" 

Aircraft #2 is a F-5 plane #70101 finished in a green/green/tan paint scheme.  Markings are colourful and include a leaping Tiger noseart with red text that reads "The Oldest Tiger" on the side of the forward fuselage.  On the tail is more attractively done text that reads "30 Years of 38438 The First F-5B in the World TIGER" 

Aircraft #3 is a F-5 plane #70101 finished in a grey/grey paint scheme.  This is the same plane as the above aircraft, but without the special colourful anniversary markings.

The instruction sheet includes very well done and complete black and white line drawings showing stencil and decal placement.

Instruction Sheets

Colours mentioned on the instruction sheet are for the Aquieous Hobby Color brand of paints.  

All in all a nice set of decals of the Royal Thai Air Force F-5B's and I recommend these to anyone wanting to add a Royal Thai Air Force F-5B to their display case.

I'd like to thank Siam Scale Decals for sending me this review sample.
