Re: New 2008 F/A-18 Stars & Stripes

It's a nice scheme but the white area below the cockpit is ruining it. It is my opinion of course.

Anyone know if this livery is real??

Think the ol' Stars and Stripes looks better on the Tomcat myself..

Yeah I tend to agree on the F-14 bird.. Maybe if they would have not left that void under the cockpit solid white it might look better.

It matches their earlier F-14 in the same scheme. It's all fake.

I like the F-18 mold but this paint scheme will not be on my wanted-list

Geee....methinks it looks overly dandified. Still prefer the hornet in its more conventional paint schemes.

Re: New 2008 F/A-18 Stars & Stripes

Well, I have almost all Hornets but this one makes me

The paint scheme is WAY overdone...

I won't buy this one.
