If you got any skins of any sorts (historical, realistic & fictional) on any Hornet model that you want or you like for the Hornet just post it here! Below I'm going to post pictures of some of the skins from the NAVY & Marines that ED is putting in just so we can get an early look. Note all pictures below from the NAVY are closest to the year 2000 in order to make the skins as historical to the Lot 21 ERA we are getting, though not all of them are Lot 21's at the time of course, the Marine units I have no idea what year VFA-34 Blue Blasters VFA-37 Ragin Bulls VFA-83 Rampagers PICTURE FROM 1994, A LOT OF HORNETS THERE VFA-113 Stingers "Converted to F/A-18E 2016" VFA-131 Wildcats VMFA-232 Red Devils VMFA-323 Death Rattlers - 2007 Fun Fact I deleted this thread after posting all the pictures and not saving it accidentally...so it was fun redoing it all Edited June 20, 2017 by frixon28 1

joey45 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Well, as soon as the template is out I'll be doing the fictional Fleet Air Arm liveries. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Are there plans for some special fuel pod skins too?
CodenameSection Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Although I'm not sure if it's our specific Hornet I'd sure love to see the digital camo F/A-18 that the VMFA-314 uses. 1

Airj247 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) They Operate A/Bs True, but with all the upgrades, they are more C's now than A's.

Gandalf_56 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I know that VFA 103 fly the F/A18-F variant but I would love to use the Jolly Rogers skin in my F/A18C. May be after release, but I am sure that this skin should be in the list "to be done"!! 2 http://www.ecv56condor.com.ar ECV56 Condor - Discord Channel
