What would you do?

I just bought a Mackit F/A-18 hornet and I was wondering what scheme from the ones below do you prefer? All decal kits are available in 1/48 except for the aggressors.

Scheme #1 RCAF Show bird


Scheme #2 RCAF Show bird


Scheme #3 RCAF Show bird


Scheme #4 Swiss Tiger Meet



Scheme #5 Various US aggressors




Which one of these is the least likely to be done by FM? Do you have other suggestions?

Thanks

CUPN

Re: What would you do?

#1 is VERY nice...though it'd probably be a bear to get everything to line up correctly.

Re: What would you do?

Funny CPN,

I was asking myself the same question a while back.

The best scheme would be a digicamo F/A-18. On the other hand the procubine RCAF CF-18 is tempting, too.

Re: What would you do?

I also like #3 the best. I just think overall grey with subdued graphics on a fighter looks great.

Any pics available? Is that an existing scheme?

Memories of a Viggen,... modelled that years ago. Layer after layer of masking and painting. Must have changed the total weight of my model by several grams but it worked out well.
