What did you just finish building?


Recommended Posts

Wow... interesting scheme... why all the red maple leaves on this one (right beside the gray maple leaves... LOL)?  Any historical/military reason for the CAF to have this scheme?  Just wondering.  BTW, another great build 🙂

With the Bort #s on the nose and the red insignia it looks to me like it might be an “aggressor” or “adversary” scheme.

Habu:  definitely came to mind when I saw it for sure... but I'm sure Shawn has some background info on this scheme...  I've never seen that scheme before and I'm really curious as to it's origin or reason for existence...

Habu is correct. 441 squadron was the red force on a Maple Flag exercise in the late 90s. Most of the squadron airframes got these markings and bort #s from 00 to 12.

Shawn, Is Boeing paying you royalties for keeping the legacy Hornet line open?  Terrific builds lately.  K/r, Dutch

Wouldn't mind if they tossed a couple new models my way, I am almost out. Still a few schemes I want to do.

Boy, those are super builds. Did you see the new demo CF-18 scheme they just rolled out last week.  You'll need to add that one to the collection as soon as someone issues decals 😉

Yep, hopefully those come out in 1/32.

Jeez, Shawn! You could open up your own miniature museum with all of the outstanding builds of yours!

Thanks, these 5 yellow guys, and the 4 to follow are all going to someone else. My downstairs "museum" is running low on room.

Had to take a break from yellow. 1/48 Kenetic Hawkeye, Steel Beach conversion to E-2B HAD decals to represent the Hawkeye in the movie "The Final Countdown".
