This is a livery for the XFA-27 in USN-inspired two-tone Compass Ghost Gray, applied in the same manner one would find on today's American F/A-18s (both Navy Rhinos and the USMC's legacy Hornets). Overall FS36320 over FS36375.
Since PA's XFA-27 textures are kinda bland, this has some extra detailing, including more robust maintenance markings inspired by both F/A-18s and F-14s, an air intake warning, Hornet-style walkway panels alongside the canopy, and red control surfaces.
Mage squadron's markings are based off of VF-143/VFA-143 "Pukin' Dogs".
Strider squadron's markings are kind of an amalgamation, featuring the tailflash from VF-154/VFA-154 "Black Knights" and a shield emblem similar to that of VF-2/VFA-2 "Bounty Hunters". Strider also features a high-visibility stripe over the right wing, based off the invasion stripe-esque wing markings painted on US aircraft during (the admittedly disastrous) Operation Eagle Claw.
BLANK:
- Blank slate. For skin slots 1, 2, and 3.
TRIGGER:
- Custom OMDF markings for Trigger depicting his time in Mage, Spare, and Strider squadron throughout the Lighthouse War. For skin slots 4, 5, and 6.
