This decal sheet from Leading Edge Models features the option of building 1 of 5 different Cf-5's (Canadian F-5's).  You can build jet from either 434 or 418 squadron or a AETE jet used for Testing and Evaluation.  These jets are all overall gloss aluminum with Gloss Red areas (such as wing tips).  The anti-glare panel in front of the windscreen is flat black on all the jets.  Markings are similar in all the jets with the exception of the tail markings, which include a variety of markings....including some with a moose on them.  Instructions include a page containing 4 view colour profiles and a second page of black and white text and drawings covering the various decal options.   

This is very interesting selection of CF-5 decals and as usual the decal quality is excellent.

The printing quality and colours and registration is all first rate and up to Leading Edge Models top class quality.  This is a very nice decal sheet for anyone that wants to build a Canadian Cf-5.

Special thanks to Dave at Leading Edge Models for the review samples.
