Well we've had a set back with jet two. I had a decal fold up and break on me. It was the squadron name that goes on the spine. There's no way to get that decal sheet has it's out of production and stock everywhere I looked. The wife and I are gonna try and make new ones but if not, well it just won...

I thought about doing a low-viz line jet but I want to do it right and really weather the crap at it.

Nice work Borg!

LOL I agree, it's almost as bad as VF-84 markings on a Tomcat! (Which, I hasten to add, my Tamiya kit will be painted in :grin: ) Nah, at least there are variables in F-14 VF-84 markings… from early to late paint schemes, plus different aircraft numbers. But yes, there are other very attractive F-1...

Well Hornet #1 is pretty much done other than the stencils, but those will wait till the end. If it gets too close to the show the stencils may not make it on there. The only exception will be the weapons.

Nice and colorful! Although I gotta confess I prefer the early Hornet markings for that squadron when the atomic skull was on the outboard surfaces of the vertical stabilizers. Thanks! I've always liked these markings and I have a framed pic when they were still flying the Legacy Hornet. https://li...

For those that haven't heard, in mid May, there's a Blue Angels movie that's coming out and only in IMAX!

Someone call 911?
