1/48 McDonnell Douglas CF-18 / CF-188 Hornet - 100 Years Canadian Air Force

The McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet, officially designated the CF-188, is the Canadian version of the F/A-18A/B light multi-role fighter aircraft. It entered service in 1982 and became the backbone of the Royal Canadian Air Force's fighter force. The aircraft is characterized by its combination of high maneuverability, rugged design, and ability to perform a wide range of missions - from air defence and escort to strike missions and reconnaissance. The CF-18 has proven itself in many NATO operations, including over the Balkans and Libya, and continues to fly in Canadian colours today.

One of the most visually interesting features of the CF-18 is its specific modifications for Canadian conditions, such asFor example, the distinctive additional lighting to maintain compatibility with NORAD missions, or subtle differences in the avionics. On the occasion of significant RCAF anniversaries, some machines are fitted with special "anniversary" schemes that are popular with pilots and modelers alike.
