Got a good deal on this one online, and I'm real glad I picked it up -- this is a very nice
representation of the Superbug! Only major gaff is the inclusion of the speedbrake between
the stabs, which the real deal doesn't have... could be more but I'm not that up to speed on
the modern birds to say. The scheme is attractive, the model is well-made with an excellent
overall fit/finish -- too bad the stand is so darn wobbly! (You can buy a WItty F-18 stand and
use it, which works great!)
I also recommend getting some of the Dragon Weapon Sets and dressing up those
pylons a bit! Recommended.
