Collin Posted September 10, 2019 Submitting because a) Harriers are cool and, b) interesting to see the fading of the old markings and looks like removal of the VMFA emblem. Cheers Collin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted September 11, 2019 That's the first picture I've seen of a -131 Super Hornet. What's interesting is that there are all kinds of new markings for Super Hornet squadrons, yet virtually no new decals. I'm assuming because they don't sell very well.

Grand Toad Posted September 16, 2019 Darren, When Top Gun 2 comes out we'll probably see some interest in Super Hornets. I worked at a hobby shop in Riverside in 1986 when Top Gun was released. We couldn't keep Tomcats on the shelves. It seemed everybody and their pet chimp wanted a Tomcat model. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We used to spray oil (VV-L-800 (military's version of WD-40)) to help lessen the amount of crap we would have to clean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boom175 Posted December 2, 2019 Probably a bit of a leaky gun hydraulic system, just enough to keep the bottom moist to catch gun blast and a base that is under water restrictions and will not allow a A/C wash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
