| Profile print offered with the livery. |
This is a replica livery of the two seat Hornet used in the TOPGUN Maverick movie, coming out this year. The original aircraft is a Super Hornet, so there are minor adjustments to the Hornet frame but it is pretty accurate. Since it is a replica it carries CAPT Pete Mitchell's name and call sign (Maverick). The names shown on the front gear doors are usually the aircraft's ground crew and these are the exact ones displayed on the real life aircraft.
As a curious note - on the real life livery the three aircraft silhouettes representing the three Migs shot down by Pete Mitchell are actually not Mig 29's. In some reference photos Hornet silhouettes were actually used instead (see inserts above)! Go figure. I went with the more generic jet fighter silhouette that shows in some of the photos taken "on set" (some at China Lake, some at Patuxent River and other Navy stations where the movie was shot) - see large real life photo above.
Note also that this variant was never flown with wing fuel tanks so they will not show in any of the ordnance options (arm).
