WHIFs from ARC

Yep, Because its a USMC Super Hornet

As my old Master Gunnery Sgt would say "There is no such animal" Marines do not operate Super bugs in any camo

Beyond obviously being a Marine bird, the whiff digi-Hornet has a completely different pattern of 'camouflage'.

You don't say !

It is obvious.

It has VMFA unit codes and VM base codes on the fin. As far as I'm aware, there are no other militaries who have unit's prefixed by a VMFA designator.

Well that might be obvious to you (that's someone who spends his time just altering side profiles), but as I'm not into sqn markings, or know anything about the make-up of sqn. markings, it's not obvious. Also my comment was nothing to do whether the model was USAF,USN or Marines (or any other country that might operate the bug) it was made to show that digi-camos on bugs weren't a whif, whether the camo was identical or not ---

I fail to see the need to be nasty. For your information, whilst I do a lot of profiles (that's slightly more than 'just altering', but that's another matter entirely), my knowledge of aircraft unit markings, etc stems from 40+ years of plastic modelling & general interest in military aviation.

I'd think that anyone with an interest in the subject would be across it, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Gentlemen, don't make me come up there...

Two of you either need to knock it off or take this conversation outside of the public realm. Nothing ticks me off more than getting emails like these while I'm out with my wife trying to have a pleasant evening together.

Love the fat chrome wheels (I have something similar in mind for a different project). Not sure a racer would leave those draggy gun ports open though: I think they'd fair them over.

The heat-blueing on the chrome exhaust pipes is a nice touch...

Helps with overtaking ?

Rednecks aren't rednecks without sufficient firepower.
