phantom Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Doing a couple CF-18s 2007 and 2008 demo birds both with Leading Edge decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Fun schemes, Shawn. I have a few reference pics for the 2007 bird if you like. Some were taken by my friend Richard Girouard. I built this scheme in 1/32 for Billy (the demo pilot that year). The Leading Edge decals fit beautifully. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if you know, but those are special covers used during ground run-ups with groundcrew. They keep the FOD from being ingested with high engine RPMs. Looks to me like they're checking for leaks, since the left-hand engine door is hanging down. You must be busy at work - normally you're done by now! ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 The forward model is this build. Decided to use the Verlindin set I have had in the stash for at least 10 years. I think its meant for a Monogram kit, but its working thus far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
