1/48 & 1/72 Hasegawa CF-18's

--------------------

 

Long time no planes. Here are a couple of recent ones. First a 1/48 Hasegawa F-18C backdated to a CF-188A. I received this kit lightly started. Missing a couple minor bits and in need of a little cleanup. I added a Aries electronics bay which gave me no end of trouble. And a Black box ejection seat.

The decals, 2006 Canadian special from 425 Squadron, are from Leading edge. Very nice decal sheet, I really liked the way the full colour markings show up on the completed model, and REALLY like the light grey on the dark grey tail.

Also included is a Hasegawa Hornet I'm giving away. Just so I still have a photo of it. Also using Leading edge decals. In this case the very hard to find standard markings.

Little guy here is the 1/72 Hasegawa CF-188A with the leading edge 2005 special decals, 410 squadron .

Last one is a nice Aussie Hornet, also using 1/72 Leading edge special decals. Boy, You'd think I like the Leading edge product line eh?

The last shot is showing my 1/48 Canadian Hornets. To see 20 other Canadian specials check out July 1st from 2005, on the ARC gallery page.
