CF-18 Tigermeet '91 (revell 1/72)


Recommended Posts

Finally it's done! Here is my Cf-18A with tiger stripes from the Tigermeet 1991.

Back to the kit, it was the Esci/Italeri mould, with raised panel lines, and not the perfect fit, but overall it represents quite well the hornet. The kit decals came with the stripes, but I prefer painting them. The whole plane is painted by hand with humbrol, model master and testors enamels.

 

The building thread is here:

 

 

Here is the final product:

Your Hornet looks terrific, Bruno.  I thought the tiger stripes were looking good in your build thread but on the finished product they look superb.  Much better than using the decals.

This is wonderful. And this was my favourite of the Canadian tiger striped Hornets. They had a similar aircraft the following year but with a slightly refined version of the markings and with the new stylised Canada on the fuselage.

 

You’ve picked the better one and done an amazing job painting the stripes. Thanks for sharing your work.

I quickly scrolled through the photos and genuinely thought the stripes were decals until I read the comments and must say they are well deserved, it's astounding just how deceived my eyes were, first class work!
