Tired 1/72 Canadian CF-18 Fighter


Recommended Posts

I built this one last summer, and I finally got around to taking some photos of it.  It was an Academy kit, if I recall correctly, with some Italeri decals I had saved up from years ago.  I always wanted to be a fighter pilot in the CF, but by the time I was fifteen, I had sprouted to 6'8" and almost 200 lbs, so that dream died quickly.  I played around with the weathering a bit, but in real life, these things look beaten half to death, and I probably could have done even more to it.  Most of the Canadian CF-18s are older than my wife, and my children keep telling her she's ancient!  Then they run away quickly.

I'm in the same boat you are, my friend! I was in the Air Cadets and planned on going to RMC, but before I knew it I was 6'5" with a new-found arrhythmia and looking for a new career choice. I'll have to settle for watching the Snowbirds. Nice build!
