and of course the whatif sideviews by CiTrus90 and the back story by KiwiZac found elsewhere on this site provided the main push to putting roos on it - although I looked up what a Badina was so I'll stick with the Tiger nomenclature !

So fine with so many details.  Beyond my skill and patience.  This build and F-5 are both cool. 8)
