basaez.bruno Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 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: IMG_20190317_115029 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115024 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115033 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115043 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115053 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115104 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115125 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115159 IMG_20190317_115216 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115253 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115323 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115349 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115404 by basco.br1, en Flickr IMG_20190317_115437 by basco.br1, en Flickr I really hope you like it!!

Meatbox8 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filler Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The RCAF do amazing schemes every year but this one is my favourite and beautifully done. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcNewitt Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 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!
