These are skinned based on pictures found online.  None of these aircraft stayed in the same configuration throughout their life, so I based it on one instance to get some variation.

A livery for the Hornet, inspired by Konosuba. Designed and made by me, in my first attempt at making a skin for any aircraft.

Made in collaboration with the Su-33 Axis Order livery made by Trot.

Done in the style of Royal Navy Sea Harrier FA2's.

Although fictional, I have tried to get them as accurate as possible replacing many decals and Keeping the Squadron tail art as accurate as possible

This is my take on what the liveries would probably look like if the royal Navy had bought hornets in the 90's/ early 2000's to replace the sea Harrier FA2's in a fictional world.

Changelog: Fixed Mipmap Issue and reduced dirt and grime on certain parts of the aircraft.

Any suggestions or feedback are appreciated.

Final version of some modern fictional Royal Navy FAA Skins

First bird I have painted with a fictional VMFA-214 squadron based on the actual VMA-214. Since they don't fly the F-18 They fly the AV-8B. Anyways had to change the designation to VMFA because the F-18 is a Fighter/Attack multirole bird. Anyways had to make it because I loved the TV show Bah Bah Black Sheep, and Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington who was a real person with 28 kills during WWII. This bird's paint is influenced by the real 214's harrier, Skyhawk, as well as the real VMFA-225 CO's bird.  I was enlisted in the navy as an aviation electricians mate onboard the USS Independence CV-62. After a year and then it was all men on carriers then I switched rate to a hospital corpsman. Because women were at the hospitals. But upon graduating from that C school I was sent to the Marines to Okinawa, Korea, DesertStorm, etc.

I've made some minor adjustments. You can fly all the liveries in any country! All players will see your liveries.
