Can make an request that someone create a skin for the F/A-18F in the form of the 24 aircraft now serving with the RAAF No.1 Squadron?

 

There are great photos of them on www.Airliners.net. They appear to the same colour scheme as the RAAF F/A-18A's and appear to the been numbered

A44-200 through to A44-224.

Interesting to note the USN BuNum, and the RAAF serial (2 different fonts).

 

I'd use the RAF font, that's over at SimmersPaintShop ... looks pretty damn close to it

The one on the nose does look like the USN. But I just the bloke that comes up with the ideas, so I would have a clue.

Your work looks great so far. And yes I have SF1. I've also noticed in the close up of the tail that the upper surface color is a shade or too darker than the lower surfaces. I hope the photos help you in some way?

Got the last part set :D

 

Re the two tone camo. It's been spot on for over a year now, lighting maybe as the USN scheme is very annoying and I don't see any real difference other than the tips of the drop tanks.

Looking at the photos again the F's do look more like a two tone USN grey. Where as the A model is more a blue-grey.

 

My modelling and painting of any kind of aircraft begins and ends with the plastic kit kind, but if I can help anyone in any I .can

Well I got the detailing and decalling done. Just be aware that the tipped tanks will only be available for the SF2 version, but life will go on, just have to set it up for SF1.

Just downloaded your SF1 skins and I see you even included the Australian flag on the vertical fins. Great job.

 

I know what I'm doing this weekend I'm going to try and repeat this aircraft in plastic.
