This set from Canuck Model Products of Symmetrical Era CF-18 Markings is the most comprehensive available and provides markings and stencils for Canadian Armed Forces CF-188's (CF-18 'Hornets') as seen in the 1980s and during the first Gulf War. The sheet was created using numerous references including Patrick Martin's excellent references, Larry Milberry's various books, as well as personal photo collections.

Special thank you to Dan McWilliams and Emil Varosi for their great help as well.
