What To Do With A F/A-18F ?

One could always paint it in Fed Ex livery and the two wing drop tanks be converted to cargo containers.

That's a tough call for me, but I went RAN. I figure everybody is jumping on the armament bandwagon, and with the Aussies always willing to help out, they are given a deal in the near future on a Nimitz class.....

An I sreali one would look wicked as well, with that sweet camo.....

And an Argie bird leaves so much to the imagination for future Falklands or other conflicts in the growing arms race in the  SA region.

How about indian navy? It was a contender at some point

That would look awesome with Roo roundels.

Could imagine a 75 SQN Marauding Magpies scheme with that camo for northern Oz's outback.

I totally agre!! But where could I find those decals??

You could find the decals here...

Got a good Magpie set with AAF-008

Heh...  I've got a 1/72 one on the bench going to Taiwan, painted up similar to their Chung-Kuo IDF's, so that got my vote.

Anything looks cool in Philippino markings.  I've got an E-model slated for the Philippines, as well as one for the RAN.  Already did one for Canada.

I modeled a speculative Super Hornet in the near future with Canadian markings, the idea being we finally take them on strength once the US and others have finally disposed of them as "obsolete."



You could go a step further and display a SuperBug from a developing nation far in the future (the way technology trickles downstream to the final operating nations who will accept very old technology).  Those "Roundels of the World" decal sheets have all sorts of possible options.

I think the RAAF would see the super hornet as a possible replacement for the F-111 so I'm voting that... However the R.A.N version would be cool as well..

Armada Argentina, Pollux! This would be fantastic... some exocets underwings, and those cool roundels from Argentina...

Second Falkland war, 2032... (Argentina bought a Forrestal or America / Kennedy and send a task force with the ex french TCD Orage + Type 42 + a Forrestal with Superbugs). GB has F-35s / CVF / type 45 ...

or USPS markings!  I dont' plan to do that with a Super Hornet, but I plan to do that with a legacy Hornet.  I want a whole fleet of USPS jets including a F-5A, F-4E, F-16A, F-15B, and F-18A.

Oh, and from what I've read, the RAAF will order a handful of Super Hornet to use until the JSF gets into production.

Under discussion here.  It's only a rumour at this stage though - nothing has been announced by the Defence Minister or Dept.

Greek camo
German camo
Drone colored - a QF-18F really appeals to the Tomcat lover in me.  :ar:
