This used to be a CF-188B in AETE markings. Problem was I did not do a very good job on the paint. For years I wanted to re do it. At long last I came across the Leading Edge decal sheet I needed.  Thanks to yet another trade here on ARC. (See my last build Hornet #60.)

So sand down the red with out destroying the model. Spray some fresh white over everything and find the next decal sheet. Once again by Leading Edge. This one has been in my stash for years. Just never had the drive to use it yet. Until now, which seemed the perfect time.

So as this WAS one of my all ready done 60 Hornets it seemed best to call this re-do 60 and a half. Mind you, the little one in 1/72 is going to the land of lost toys.
