Yes. True. A lot of...
I decided to go with the Hobby Boss kit because it includes these special colors. Nevertheless I ordered another sheet for the 150 years Canada scheme. The red beauty. For those decals I will go with the Academy kit.

I know exactly the red beauty you speak of. They even did some cool schemes placing ce,ebrities on the tails. Geddy Lee from RUSH is one of them. I’ve been working on that to make my own decal set.
Another I found another photo of a very colorful Canadian Hornet scheme online I wish a decal company would do. I’ll have to find it in my files and post it when I get a chance.

Marius here is mine. Definitely not as nice as yours. I have another kit in the stash I may redo it.

I don't know what you see. I see a wonderful Hornet in brilliant markings. You might remember the big Decals were not easy to apply. So you did a fantastic job on yours. Excellent.

The Yak-3 by Revell/Zvezda was supposed to be finished before 2 weeks summer break, but unfortunately it won't cross finish line in time. Nevertheless nice little kit. Belts are fully scratched and some small modifications are done.
