‘Advanced’ FA-18F Super Hornet With Conformal Fuel Tanks Concept …

These CFTs have always looked really sweet on Super Hornets!

This artwork from 2017, presented as a ‘farewell’ gift by the company to colleague Angus Kelsey (name used with permission). 

At time of creating this render, we were working on various studies wrt getting the ASH (Advanced Super Hornet) into Aus. Not sure anything has progressed beyond that since then … but it sure is a cool look !!

APOLOGIES! for the low-res image and reflections in the glass, it’s the best I have of this framed artwork!

The “FARE THEE WELL” Series - Over 2024-25 I reached out to a number of people who, over the years, have been in receipt of “farewell” artwork I was tasked with creating. Given that I’ve now ‘retired’, I’m able to showcase that work via their photos without any questions being asked.
