Thanks for the answer :) As they say, the only stupid question...Although I tend to have a plethora (big word for the day...) of questions on nearly every subject. I would rather ask, than stay in the dark...

Curious of your thoughts on this Peter, still no spill ducts yet. Pilot is missing his textures too. Getting close, I have to be done in 3 days because it is all I have on my trial. I really like the Corel now that I am starting to get used to it.

Nice work, Azframer.
Do not worry about the pilot textures, these 'should' be placed/found in the general folder 'texture' because they are usually identical for all models apart from a few exceptions, e.g. Clean/Blue Angels loadout.
In general one needs to address only five files: CP_F18_x_T.dds, x=1,2,3,4,6 in order to finish a complete texture.
As I do not have the original photos you are basing this texture repaint on, here is what I noticed so far - some of these may not be applicable. These are just small issues and could be addressed later, too, in case you run out of 'trial days':
- transition areas between surface colors on different .dds files
- numbering
- non skid surfaces
- port side spill ducts
You should focus your effort on the transition areas between surface colors on different .dds files because they are usually the most difficult ones to address to, and the numbering in case you still have time.
Best regards, Peter
(Having marked, what I noticed in the screenshots you provided below. Thanks again for your effort, much appreciated!)

This is what I have been trying to work off of. Something that gives me all views. The Splinter version I was lacking some views so I improvised a little on it, even found a model of same plane to give me some what of a top view of it. I did find a real picture of another plane from VFA-12 in same color scheme and there are numbers on outer vertical stabs, small but they are there, even the diagram I've posted I can now see them but I overlooked them being blurred really bad.
Picture can be seen here: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/1/1/7/1600711.jpg
