Also, are the landing gear on this as horrible (i.e. impossible to properly fit into fuselage) as Dragon's Super Hornet (specifically the Jolly Rogers)?

Do you mean the black TOP GUN F-18?

Thanks for posting the pics slammin! As far as other dragon weathering jobs, are you looking for jets or props or both?

Re: Weathering on F-18 Chippy Ho, others?

I would love to see one of these real F-18's in person. I am sure the markings are really cool in person.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

I agree, the Jolly Rogers was HORRIBLE to get landing gear in...

I don't have the Chippy Ho, but I do have the Fist of the Fleet F/A-18 Hornet(My 1st Dragon, and my favorite) and it wasn't as bad......
