Mike5401 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well I guess that 94 jet is out of the bag now! We were waiting for the right time to post this, so here it is. Look for this jet on a Fightertown Decals sheet coming SOON! Enjoy. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a complete walk around from this week. Tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) The flames are a nice touch! Kind of like, "Pimp my Hornet." What's the sound system like? :) Edited May 5, 2008 by David Walker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 88 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's a sick scheme. I'll buy a sheet. :) Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jai5w4 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Like several things especially about that new Hobo bird...uniqueness, if you will. 1) The '400' on the nose and the way it's NOT painted half-and-half with a different color (ala the '100' on the Black Aces CAG), I think it looks better in one color. 2) The addition of the colored tank (wish we saw more of it). 3) Pinstripe carried all the way down the leading edges of the wings and over to the horizontal stabs. 4) Painted tailhook. Thanks for posting the pics, btw. -John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike5401 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 This is one of my favorite schemes! I think 94 did a great job on it! Yeah I agree with John we need to see more Fuel Tanks painted, at least the centerline tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spongebob Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I must say...I'm not a fan of the "skunk stripes". Probably just me though. Spongebob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I agree with John we need to see more Fuel Tanks painted, at least the centerline tank. U Mean like this? There are 3 tanks painted in this scheme, so Hobo 400 can go Triple Bubble in style! Note that the flames go across almost 3/4 of the bottom of the tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great pics. Edited May 8, 2008 by Mike5401 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Motty Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 G'day All, Time for some more Aussie jets. The wind, weather, flying program and my day off all came together today to finally enable me to capture what has been, for me, one of the more elusive Hornets to get in front of the lens. A21-47 with its special tail. And a couple of others from today as well. Cheers, Motty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
