Yet another Canadian Hornet. This one how ever I do not get to keep. Its a commission build. The customer wanted  a two seater with the canopy open, ladder down and two blue bombs. As it would have appeared at the 2006 Maple Flag exercise. I did some photo research and found just what the customer wanted.

Lucky for me I found that 188915 was at the exercise but had not (yet) received the modernization which includes the bird slicers. This made modelling easier for me. I hate scratch building those little stripes and getting them in the right position. I have done it in the past but I do not like it.

Hopefully the customer likes his Hornet.
