We can always count of Leading Edge to provide us with the latest in interesting Canadian schemes and this one is no exception. This is the 2008 demo aircraft that has the markings of 50 years of NORAD on the fin. As with other Leading Edge Hornet sheets, this one is as complete as one can get with full data markings that include the false canopy and the wing leading edge markings. A bonus is the inclusion of decals to place on intake and exhaust covers. There are even landing gear and seat data plates. Since the fins are different sizes in the two most popular kits by Academy and Hasegawa, Leading Edge provides alternate fin markings. I'm not sure which will fit the Hobby Boss kit, but one of them should work to your satisfaction.

So there you have it. One of the world's best decal producers with another superlative commemorative decal sheet.
