The latest set of decals from Leading Edge Models provides a full set of markings in 1/48 scale for the Canadian Air Force CF-18 from 433 Squadron for the 60th Special paint scheme.  This was a special paint scheme that marked 60 years of flight for 433 Squadron as well as 100 years for flight.  Large markings showing the Wright Flyer are included for the outside of the right tail.  The paint scheme is quite the eye catcher and is very well designed on the fill sized aircraft and Leading Edge Models captures this very well. The decals are very complete and beautifully printed.  Two very cxomplete pages of B&W instructions are included covering all the tiny special details you'll need to avoid any problems while applying these decals as well as 4 view drawings.

The decals are contained on 3 decal sheets.  The printing quality and colours and registration is all first rate and up to Leading Edge Models top class quality.  This is a very recommended decal sheet for anyone that likes building the Canadian CF-18's with special paint schemes.

Special thanks to Dave at Leading Edge Models for the review samples.
