  1. Instrument panel and exterior details would be the same as that found on an F/A-18A. GPS Dome, swept back upper and lower UHF/VHF antenna, AN/APX-111 antenna on nose, SJU-5/6 Both aircraft, 163167 and 163162, got upgraded to F/A-18A++ and got the SJU-17, but several years after their OIF deployment (which the markings on the decal sheet depict)
  2. The Marine Corps uses both left and right handed pods. We have the left handed pods available in the stowed position. I'll have a deployed (camera's out) version out next week. I'll also be releasing right handed pods. https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl48-8121-anaaq-28-litening-pod---left-handed-stowed
  3. I conceded you may have only been referring to shipboard operations in my original response. However, I mentioned it appeared you were speaking about ordnance in general, to which I responded it was not the case. I posted the photos of the Mk-82 and BLU-111 simply to show that not all bombs are pristine and modelers at times simply use artistic license and aren't too concerned about 100% accuracy. If it looks cool to them, that's all that should matter.
  4. Depends on how one interprets what they see in a photo.....
  5. Well, you're obviously not an Ordnanceman that's spent time around ordnance off ship. During ODS, all of our bombs (any many of our missiles), were stored outside. Most of the ordnance dropped by both Navy and Marine Corps aircraft during OIF and OEF was also stored outside. Guess what happened to it? It got weathered. While you may in be referring to shipboard operations, it sounds more like a matter of fact statement for all ordnance, which is absolutely not the case.
  6. While he isn't an Ace, I've got Capt Ehrhart's Harrier drawn. 231 is flying the gun pack. It's been strakes and centerline LITENING for almost the entire Det so far. Yeah, I've been in direct contact with three Marines aboard the Bataan (all with 231), and they're all saying the kills didn't happen.
  7. Don't worry, the moment one of the smaller one man operations here in the US announces one, ResKit will "magically" have one in development........ Talked about it, no one sent references, so I let it drop off the list.
  8. I was actually able to get successful prints and have a couple dozen sets in stock. However, I do have drawings with measurements. I'll post them tomorrow as I'm out of the office for the night. https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl172-2061-pitot-tubes-for-fa-18a-d-f-14-a-7-f-8-av-8b
  9. If he's referring the Pitot tubes on the lower sides of the those, they are NOT 18.5 inches long. The Hasegawa parts aren't correct and shouldn't be used as a basis for new ones.
