You made the right decision by masking and painting rather than the decal. More realistic look.

Agreed, much more realistic. That's really looking sweet!

Almost finished. I am pleased on how this is turning out. The sharpie marker fine tip worked great on the strips. Prismacolor pencils Scarlet Lake (red) and Dark Umber was used to make the markings of the tiger coat. I used a mask to paint the eyes and claws. I started to weather the tank using Winton Oil color Burnt Sienna and creating a wash. I am slowly building up this effect.
