Well its time to create a skin thread so here we go! 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

True, but with all the upgrades, they are more C's now than A's. (At least from what I hear up here in Canada, no clue on Australia's)

 

(I'm not positive of all the CF-18 specs so don't take me as I'm certain)

Canadian Hornets "CF-18" (Near identical to A models)

 

Once again I know near nothing about the RCAF...sorry Canadians. Do you Canadians just repaint the demo jet every year I assume, because wow that is a beautiful hornet!
