Janissary Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I normally don't care much about the aggressors but that lizard scheme looks incredibly attractive. If they came out with that one, I'd definitely build an E in that scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viper_944FW Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yup, that's my favorite too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Those are neat...although my VFC-12 favorite is still the gray splinters they've had for the past few years. Would love to see that scheme continued onto a SH or two. As far as these, as I scrolled down the page, I was most struck by the Su-34 Fullback scheme for the "F's", the first Iranian Fulcrum scheme, and the later ones called "Ghost" and "Cloud." I used to do TONS of Adversaries, had a fleet of over 30 in 1/72, built in the late 80's and throughout the 90's. I lost interest when all the new schemes were splinters. A few were fine, at first, but when that was my only choice I totally burned out. Must admit this could rekindle my interest....

SERNAK Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Oh Boy!!! New paint schemes means new decals' sheets, and new decals' sheets means more FS paints (enamels and acrylics), and more FS paints means more models, and finally, more models means more much much much more money to spend!!!

Waco Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Fun fact, those schemes are just part of a complete deck designed by ARCer Trigger for VFC-12; they were leaked before any selections were made, and with no credit attributed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I find it irritating that when you click on a scheme expecting it to get enlarged, only to find it's smaller than the original pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viper_944FW Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Agreed Brad-M, but better than no pic, LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pollie Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Have the selections been made? Tempted to start building a few Super Hornets in anticipation of decals..... OP talks about Top Gun aircraft but these are VFC-12 AFAIK or is NAWDC also painting their Super Hornets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would say it's more of an honorable thing to do. If he did the work on them, he should at least be mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Well, the point is that they don't mention that these proposals are his design. This by itself can raise a copyright infringement issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Trigger did respond in their comments section ... -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Sweet. All I need to build for the rest of my life will be Hornets - all liveries from F-16 to Su-57. Not the worst perspective! Paint them all up - all are lovelly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm developing (gradually, unfortunately) an Adversaries collection for the past..... well, I don't want to say for how long - it will cause a "stir of opinions" (like, get on with it!!!) but anyway, I'm still gathering accessories, mostly decals' sheets because, these are the ones that are hard to get, especially if you don't buy them when they are released. So, at this point I would suggest to wait and see in which scale/decals sheets these schemes will be released and then, buy the kits you will need to produce them. And don't go into much detailing. Perhaps one or, two kits and for the rest, focus on the external details and paint schemes. Just my two cents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Any news, they chose the schemes to be used? I've seen pictures of former VFC-12 Legacy Hornets now in VFA-204 markings, so we must be getting close to seeing the first VFC-12 Super Bug! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
