(…judges minds explode…) Not to mention the builder didn't clear coat over the "VMA-513" decals on the second plan in. That doesn't look real AT ALL! 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Famous last words from Judges, "No Harrier, M48 Chaparral, United Airlines 757, '71 Mustang Mach 1, USS Alabama would ever be painted that way, weathered that way, have that shade of yellow, use that antenna configuration, have those tires."

GreyGhost Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 All of the Block II+ Rhinos now have the APG-79 AESA radars which have the fixed array and allot of these jets develop that line on the nose cone boot right about where the array is ... Some more pronounced than others, I've seen it on some Growlers as well ... -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
