Description

A striking, high-flying celebration of Canadian air power. This highly detailed 1:72 scale diecast model by Hobby Master (HA3576) replicates the McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet (#188794) flown by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CF-18 Demonstration Team during the 2022 airshow season. Representing the 1 Canadian Air Division, this team showcases the multi-role fighter's extreme maneuverability to audiences across Canada and the United States. To celebrate new milestones, this aircraft features the team's spectacular 2022 commemorative livery, accented with an intricate, stylized maple leaf pixel camo pattern across the upper rear fuselage and twin vertical stabilizers, beautifully contrasting its tactical grey finish.

Ideal for curators of modern display teams and Canadian military aviation, this Air Power Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact of modern air combat engineering. The 1:72 scale model is engineered with exceptional precision, featuring a removable main canopy for an unobstructed view of the pad-printed instrument panel and cockpit interior features, plus a separate canopy with a fixed actuator for open-cockpit display. Complete with an easily deployable rear speed brake, finely detailed landing gear subassemblies for quick ground configuration, and removable underwing ordnance appropriate to its operational design, this premium model delivers a commanding presentation on any collector's gallery shelf.
