lprkon Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, Have gleaned the following information from Wikipedia, I still have a number of questions: "Scripting and costuming place Stackhouse and Burnett in the squadron VFA-163 Ark Angels. The real VFA-163 squadron was decommissioned well before the Super Hornet was put into service. The Super Hornet, which did not enter service until 1999, was decorated with VFA-163's 1995 markings on the spine but was in fact on loan from VFA-122." Is this information accurate? What kits should I go with in 1/48 and 1/72 to portray the movie Hornet? Are there decals available that I could use? Any help much appreciated guys Glen Edited June 27, 2009 by lprkon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Both Hasegawa and Revel make good kits for 1/48. I prefer the Hasegawa. For decals, several companies have done VFA-122. I believe Two Bobs may have and I know Superscale did. I would use their markings and make the 163 out of spares. I do not recall if the NJ tail code was shown on the movie plane.

GreyGhost Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 During filming they used some F/A-18Ds from VFA-125 also ... Due to a then lack of Super Hornets in the fleet ... I remember reading that in a Boeing Frontiers magazine article ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
