Here’s a Revell 1/48 F-18 I built for a friend.  I backdated the Hornet from a “C” to one of our old, tired CF-18s, and finished it off with decals from Leading Edge Models.  LEM provides a crucial set of vinyl masks to carry out the paint job of Tamiya X3 Blue over Gold.

You have to be careful applying the wing decals to prevent wrecking them. Decalling took a few hours over several nights to ensure I didn’t accidentally remove some while setting others. 

The model was built for a co-worker who worked on this particular aircraft in Cold Lake in 2009.
