I have spent a lot of time researching and recreating the stencils of the F-2 (the F-4EJ as well) in high definition so updating the Hornet with a few of the relevant ones seemed a good idea. :)
Yes, the dark blue and the radome/sensors grey are both slightly lighter, the base blue is much more lighter than before. It was an endless debate with a couple of friends about that color, but this seems to be the most correct tone.
@Weegie, thanks, glad you like it!
