Growler

I have been forced to lay off the Demon for a while, since I have some commissioned work to do. I thought I would show you the progress on this one, the EA-18G Growler.

This paint scheme have just been applied to this jet.

Please let me know what you think

Re: Growler

Look like a good start.

There's something weird about the canopy shape. It's not curvy enough IMHO. There's a sort of break in the middle of it.

For once, I agree with John on most points. The profile is good, the aircraft isn't. The F/A-18E/F is better than the original Hornet at least, and has a range which actually means something. Compare the range of the F-14 to that of the F/A-18 and you laugh.

Now that all offensive air assets are Hornets, I think that the most important job on a carrier is being a tanker pilot. Future CAG, carrier CO and admirals will be tanker dudes.

Re: Growler

Thanks for your comments ! IŽll look into the canopy...it might look more authentic when i put some interior in there, but weŽll see.

HereŽs the lastest update, with wing fence and a few other new details
