Andy, overall not bad work. I do have some comments.
1. Looks like the 'F' in 'VMF' on the left side is wrinkled as may be the '383' decal just aft of it.
2. The first pic shows what appears to be a seam along the leading edges of each wing. It looks to be white in the pic and may be easy to fix if it just needs to be touched up with paint.
3. Not knowing what your skill level is with planes/modelling, I'd like to suggest you look at painting the canopy frames for your next project. While your canopy isn't bad, it would look much better if you had masked it and painted the frames.

Andy:
Great job on the decals. The only things I can see is what Tin pointed out about the decal and the leading edges on the wings.
Was going to ask about the yellow stipes on the prop, but after closer review I see that you haven't removed the masking on the blades yet.. #:-).
One question though are you going to weather the plane so the decals look faded and worn.
Either way it looks great keep going you doing this little bird the justice she deserves..
