Pelican Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi folks, This is my first post in this forum. I used the 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18A/C kit in order to turn it into a Canadian CF-188A. As most of the necessary parts are in the box it was not a big deal. The decals ,the sniper pod and the seat are after-market parts. 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyhawk174 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Wow very very nice. I get to see the real thing when I visit the Canadian Forces bases here at home so it sure looks like something I would see on the tarmac. Just one quick question please. Can you tell me what were the aftermarket products you mentioned? Thanks Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Nice work, 795 was one of my favourite jets when I was in 416 & 409 Squadrons. I love the weathering, I added to some of the grime on the real jet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelican Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Thank you very much for your replies, I appreciate. As far as I remember I used a TrueDetails SJU-5 seat, I am still no sure if 795 is equipped with this kind of seat or a newer type. The sniper pod is from Eduard. The decals are from Canuck Models, I highly recommend them ,the ACTR pod is from scratch and the missiles from the spares box. The remainder from the box. According to my documentation my model is cleaner than the real thing. Edited December 13, 2016 by Pelican 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
