The new Queen Liz Royal Navy carrier

Nimitz class carrier as R09 Ark Royal.

Fictional Hornet skin using real Royal Navy markings.

F/A-18C in Royal Nay markings of 892 Naval Air Squadron flying from the Ark Royal

F-18C Hornet in Royal Navy markings.

Instead of building the new Queen Elizabeth carriers it was decided that it would be cheaper to purchase one o f the Nimitz class carriers from the States with a side order of F-18C Hornets. An old squadron of the Fleet Air Arm was recommissioned to fly from the carrier. The squadron chosen was 800 Naval Air Squadron that had served aboard HMS Eagle.

This gave the Royal Navy a much bigger strike capability than the old ski jump carriers could offer.

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.
