RCAF CF-18A 439 Sqn #188764 Tiger Camo 1992 by Wine - Version I
I personally saw the CF-18A # 188764 on the "Luchtmacht Open Dagen" airshow here at Gilze-Rijen Airbase in The Netherlands in 1992 and was impressed by it's beautiful Tiger camo. I still have a few photos of it in my collection, I added them to the screenshots for upload folder.
One day I had to create it for DCS ... Now here it is, not 100% accurate, but, just enjoy !
