This Hornet is a 1/350th from Tamiya and is hand painted and has just had the nose cone chopped off with some scissors to look realistic based on your inputs.
Now it looks like a Hornet

I haven't actually ordered the Navy sets you emailed me about.
I will try to do that tonight, thanks for the reminder.

Tim, now that you have ditched the nose cone, a slight clarification on my earlier post. We went to a light grey coloured radome boot...but not all aircraft have been changed yet.

What I mean to say is that if we have a heap of unserviceable aircraft here, we will have a hangar full of unserviceable aircraft nicely parked for your viewing pleasure. Otherwise, I will have to make you wear a bright dayglo vest and hearing protection as we venture out on the tarmac and try not to get run over by an F/A-18. Unfortunately, no cameras are allowed and no, we aren't owned by Macquarie Airports. Will be a great opportunity to see what your tax dollars buy these days.
Looking fwd to touring Edinburgh Base, and also offer the catering tour on sunday4th May or sun 18th may as have these 2 sundays off, as for base tour a mon or tues are the only weekdays I get rost off, maybe a weds if needed, can arrange. Will contact you to confirm details soon,

I'd take one from Gemini or Phoenix... I think we'll see it in the coming months, along with an A332, B738 and maybe a revised B787.
