This new decal sheet from WINTERVALLEY provides markings and stencils for Canadian Armed Forces CF-188's (CF-18 'Hornets') as seen in the 1980s and during the first Gulf War. 

The sheet was created using numerous references including Patrick Martin's excellent bibles on the topic, Larry Milberry's various books, as well as personal photo collections. Special thank you to Dan McWilliams and Emil Varosi for their great help as well.

This sheet provides all the major markings and as many of the RCAF specific maintenance and warning markings as possible but it should be used in conjunction with your kit decals.

You get one complete set of stencil data including false canopy for the underside.  Plus you get grey plus black false canopies and you also get a full selection of serial #'s that you can mix and match to create a specific CF-188 that you prefer.

Plus you get squadron markings for:

  • 409 Squadron

  • 410 Squadron

  • 416 Squadron

  • 421 Squadron

  • 425 Squadron

  • 433 Squadron

  • 439 Squadron

  • 441 Squadron

  • AETE

  • William Tell

The instruction sheets are well laid out and easy to follow.  The two water slide decal sheets are of the highest quality and clearly printed.

I was very pleased to se this decal sheet....one of the first models most Canadians build is the venerable CF-188 and this decal sheet provides the ability to build a vast selection of CF-188's.

This decal sheet is also available in 1/72 and 1/48. 

I would like to thank WINTERVALLEY for providing me with this product sample.
