This is the F/A-18E that Maverick flies in "Top Gun: Maverick":
Does anyone know which squadron this jet belongs to, what the serial number is, and could anyone try to paint it? They're also an F model painted in this scheme as well.

And it would be cool is someone can update the NBAI model with folding wings

Isn't that what Mark Griggs did with that model for the RAAF?
From mobile hence short

Where can I find this model ? I only find repaints for F/A-18E/F SUPER HORNET RAAF...
Mark Griggs made pack for NBAI F/A-18C HORNET RAAF (Williamtown).

Here's the F model with the same paint scheme:
I'm not entirely sure why an F is being used for the file. Inside shots maybe?

Several close up shots in the recent videos show the cameras on top of the WSO instrument panel, to get the shots of Cruise "flying" the Super Bug. The F is assigned to NAWDC at NAS Fallon, NV. I can not find a shot of the E's buno (serial).

It looks like you missed this clip, jetrange.

Yeah, I don't know what I was saying. I've seen the above video and the other two trailers, and it does show Tom Cruise back-seating in the F model. I didn't know the F actually belonged to NAWDC. And I know I asked this before, but can anyone paint these two aircraft with the NBAI models? I wish I could but I don't have access to Photoshop.

Looks great, although must change to the Maverick livery helmets!
