Another 1/48 scale Hasegawa CF-18A Hornet. This time apart from the decals and bang seat its out of the box. The decals came from everyone's ARC friend Elmo (Emvar), who handed them over to me a couple years back. They are of course Leading Edge decals. Representing a 425 squadron colour bird.

The plane received zero weathering to accent the bright paint scheme.  The decals were over 10 years old. Had some minor flaking issues with the red on the edges but nothing that a wee bit of touch up paint could not fix. For older decals they worked great as Leading Edge decals tend to do.

This model was made to replace a older 1/72 scale model whose landing gear was eaten by animals unknown that seem to lurk in the basement.
