Phone Phixer Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 The RCAF have released the colour scheme for next years display CF18. 2017 is the 150th anniversary of Canadian federation, and is being celebrated over the whole year. A bit of work required by the painters! http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/article-template-standard.page?doc=2017-demo-hornet-will-honour-canada-s-150th-anniversary/iw7ntu6l http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/assets/AIRFORCE_Internet/images/news-nouvelles/2016/12/demo-hornet-design.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Oh, Bog, that horrid design stuck. I thought that Trudeau would have scrapped it when he became PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Not too bad but it would have Ben better with a white maple leaf on top, not the stylised thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 OK I like it. Better than I could think of, and in some hidden way maybe conveys the theme. I would have gone low viz though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 No chance of Leading Edge doing the decals though. LEM has gone very quiet. Maybe Canuck Models...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggy4624 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Maple syrup dispensers on the wingtips would improve the design a bit. Does look a bit 'other side of the Atlantic', though. I bet the dukes of hazard horn sounds really good. TACKY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit tacky, but not quite in the same league as the short lived 410 Squadron 50th anniversary scheme cooked up in 1991: net photo If memory serves, they nicknamed it the "McHappy jet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Gets my thumbs up. I do love a bit of "garish" instead of the other g..........grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinK Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I like it too: it seems from the replies so far that Canadians don't like it, but others do. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
