My submission has been long in coming of my latest subject a 1/48 Hasegawa F-18B ("Canadian CAF-188B Hornet").

The model is finished in the colors of the CAF's AETE (Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment) based at Cold Lake, AL. with Leading Edge Model's decal set. The actual aircraft photograph was taken at the Abbotsford Airport in 2003. The kit went together fairly well, but I found the decals a bit on the thick side and hard to handle. 

Enjoy the photographs and happy modeling.
