Good job! Very very nice result!!! Congrats!!!
-
Thanks man, glad you like what you see!
3D elements, Sensor Details and some warning stencils are missing on the front fuselage and the vertical stabs. Gear, Air Brakes and Canopy still need some work and then I’d say we got a nice template for all you crazies to unleash some serious skinage on I will embed a possibility to edit the BuNos and a collection of MODEX numbers and standard NAVY stencils for the PSDs…
I’ve also started on the SH wing area and stabilizers so it should be done soon as well.

Its been a while… Any updates on the Super Hornet??

Status is Panels, Camo, 3D, Sensors and Stencils are finished for the D - gear and air brakes still unchanged. All my skinning goes into the weathering of the F-14 which will eventually find its way to the 18 as well, by now I have a certain quality level I want all skins to exceed before I put them out and a clean skin with some stencils just doesn’t cut it anymore.
If any of you guys are ready to roll with a certain skin I’ll throw the PSDs together and release that for community skinning efforts - for the F/A-18D.
As for the F, it is basically a completely different aircraft - no one panel is equivalent to the D. Right now I have F tails which are halfway done and that’s it…

As you were kind enough to ask, I personally would love to see a VFA-106 Gladiator skin for the “D” model (USN or USMC, or both). 106th is the AIRLANT FRS/RAG squadron as well as home of the East Coast Demo team, and I have a personal affection for them as they were kind enough to let our squadron “borrow” one for our incentive flight(s) “back in the day”. Love your work Stingray, and thanks for all you do!

id probably still be in if i were offered an incentive flight.

Yea, I just realized my statement could be understood that way. What I actually meant was if any of YOU guys are looking to go ahead on skinning a certain Bug I’d provide the template :D. While we’re at it…
you talkin’ about sth like this?
Are any of these original Hornets actually still in active service or has Boeing taken over completely?

Yup, that would be them.
-
Yea like them 106ers…this is also borderline cool
-
Borderline hell… that’s awesome!

Hey guys, I’m sorting out and reproducing/finishing some of my old skins for various AC. Is this still the current model of F/A-18E/F?
-
They’re fine.
Now I’m noticing that they prefer the low visibility option on their tails, though. Some exception apart, of course.Hope this helps. With best regards.
