Hobby Master United States Navy (USN) McDonnell Douglas F/A-18E "Mako" Red 12, VFC-12, NAS Oceana, June 2021 1/72 HM5124

The USN has painted an F/A-18E in a scheme to look similar to a Russian Su-57 Felon. The scheme was meant to resemble the scheme on the fifth production Su-57 which the Russians referred to as "White Shark" so the staff from VFC-12 "Fighting Omars" named theirs "Mako" and use the call sign "Ambush". This shark scheme was first seen on June 18, 2021 during a change-of-command at NAS Oceana. VFC-12's new Commanding Officer, CDR Scott "CAWK" Golich is displayed on the canopy rail.
