Did some math and figure I have built 51 A/B/C Hornets. Most are 1/72 but as time goes on I am replacing some with the much superior 1/48 scale kit. I have had these decals for some time......Something like 20 YEARS!!! Its a really old decal sheet from Arrow graphics. Not sure but if my memory is correct I think they were printed back in 1991. The scheme itself is from the CFs first painted special. It was used by 410 squadron before they had the paint prep figured out. On the airframes first flight great chunks of the paint came off. On landing the plane was ordered cleaned and returned to standard grays.

Anyway, this is the last of my parts kits. No landing gear was in the box so it got built wheels up. With the mostly white and red colour scheme it was a really quick build.
Enjoy the photos.
