There's a lot to like about Dragon's F/A-18s -- particularly the metal
content: These birds are heavy! The mold looks good and is fairly
accurate, best as I can tell anyways ( I am no expert on this airframe).
The biggest gaff is that a deployed speedbrake option between the
vertical stabs is provided, which the real Superbug does not have.
Dragon has fixed this on its newest releases.  


T
his is a very nice-looking scheme that pairs nicely with the showbird
Diamondbacks F/A-18 released earlier by Dragon. See review
here.   
T
his model also comes with a nice loadout, compared to most Dragon
modern jets, which tend to be pretty bare bones.

This model assembled quite easily with no "fiddly bit" issues to speak of,
and it has a good fit/finish overall.
Recommended.
