I don't believe I've seen this mentioned anywhere so I thought I'd make a thread.



The other pics are up on the Witty site.

looks good although I hope the dark blue will end up actually being dark blue, not black as it appears. Witty's pre pro colors do end up being very different from the final products at times so hopefully this will be the case here.

also, I don't believe any Superhornets have ever had the tip of their noses painted yellow like that. (like many legacy Hornets have/had. At least I haven't seen any with it. If anything, the Super's nose tips are a lighter shade of gray)

I wish Witty would give us release dates. I am still hoping they'll release the Jolly Rogers Super sometime this year.

Checked pics of the real thing---tip of nose should be "ever so slightly lighter shade of grey". Also, VFA-143's planes introduced the new style of ECS vent, so the mold will be wrong. (Somewhat annoyingly, it means every Super Hornet ever built from VFA-143 and on is wrong for every existing Super Hornet mold---plastic and diecast, in all scales) And if they start retrofitting the new vents to older Shornets (as is believed will happen), it'll really cause problems.

yeah, so the yellow nose tip is incorrect. A little paint could correct that. I was not aware of the different ECS vents, but if the majority of the Supers don't have them then I guess it's not realistic to expect Witty to get it right as they have a hard time getting big things right.

That pic is awesome!
