Not wanting to sound like a broken record, but once again, Leading Edge has produced a top quality decal sheet for a special scheme Canadian subject. This time they have produced two superb decal sheets for the 439 Sq 1992 Tiger Meet CF-18A. CE has already done this in 1/72 and 1/48, but this is the 1/32 version.

Now putting out all those stripes in 1/32 for a decal sheet would mean that you'd have a half-dozen sheets! What Leading Edge has done is to do the few really tough decals and then provide full scale masks for the rest of them. There are five additional sheets of instructions that provide all the masks you'll need. One can either cut out the stripes and use them as masks or use the surround as a stencil. Probably both methods will end up being used.

The decal sheet itself includes the large tiger heads, false canopy, lerex walk areas and the few stripes needed on the small lerex vortex generators. Of course, the usual insignia and data markings are provided as well.

Though there are a couple of 1/32 F-18s out there, most will go for the superb Academy kit.
