Project F/A-18C & D Hornet "Tsunami"



 
Following a growing line of liveries inspired by the one used on the HS-14 Chargers Ocean Hawk SH-60F "610" (which prompted the first commissioned livery of this line applied on an Alternate Series SH-60 (the "618"), followed by a Replica Series for Third Fleet), my old friend Viks, aka CuriousMinette, got hold of Shana Carpool's Hornet and sure enough ordered an exclusive two pack with this type of design, this time a Fantasy Series paint job, unaffiliated with the military, but based on U.S. Navy Hornet designs.

Like the "Chargers" Ocean Hawk, this livery is inspired by the most famous work of 19th century Japanese artist Hokusai, "The Great Wave" (Kanagawa-oki nami ura, "Under a wave off Kanagawa") following this livery line tradition, which came to be named the "Tsunami" line. Both a C and a D model were executed and it gives me great pleasure to know they will fly the skies of Second Life in the hands of a great aviation enthusiast and long time friend.

Both models, C and D, were supplied with a "clean" version with no pods and under wing tanks, and a payload VICE version compatible with all payload options.

Same warranty applicable in all cases.
