Good stuff! I'm hoping the Superbug is going to get one of the early high-vis Phantom schemes.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Too bad the Tomcat isn't still around,it'd look great in the WWII style 3 tone dark blue/light blue/white scheme with a shark mouth,like the old Hellcats.

It apparently only just went into the paint shop for masking, but they've started a Growler in a three-tone 1943 scheme, without the red-bordered insignia.

I haven't been on much of late because the internet was down at home until yesterday afternoon.

Here's the MH-60R that was half-painted as of a month ago, and a Growler which is still a work in progress.  I'm told that the too-bright blues are a combination of fluorescent lights and color correction by the camera.

Looks like I got my wish.  They've now got a Prowler in the paint shop.

Here's another F/A-18C, assigned to VFA-122, in standard 1944 colors.  Air Group markings are still TBD.

The underside being blue outside of the hinge point is great attention to detail! Makes me think of a Corsair !! :bow:

Careful about acronyms, my friend... In US Navy lingo I first thought you meant that the markings were... er... "devastating"!!!  ;D ;D ;D
