OK, here's the deal. I had a poorly
painted CT-155 Hawk. I think I used the wrong shade of blue. Just looked wrong.
So I built a new one for the trainer group build on ARC. Looking at the model I
was getting ready to toss I realized it was not built to bad......just painted
wrong. As I had some Snowbirds decals laying around and a couple days off work I
decided why not?

The kit itself is the basic
Airfix CT-155 Hawk trainer built out of the box. The decals are mostly
spares from Leading Edge from the new Hawk I built and Belcher Bits decals
for the snowbirds stuff. Just a matter of placement of the blue striping
and deciding the best place for the roundel.
Right, display plane with
Sidewinders...........Well, the next government AFTER the one I like will no
doubt cut costs to the military like they always do. This combined with the fact
we are waiting for the JSF......I figure the Snowbirds might just end up being
our most combat capable fighters once our Hornets hit 35 years old. Happy Canada
Day.
