Ed’s Hasegawa 1/48 scale CF-18 Hornet replicates an aircraft from 425 Squadron, “Les Alouettes,” based in Bagotville, Quebec, Canada. “I saw the actual aircraft in Maine in 1991,” he says, “and when I located squadron markings from Arrow Graphics in Canada, I knew I had to build it.” He weathered with pastels and detailed with various colors of diluted drafting ink.
