1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet, VFA-102 "Diamondbacks" on CVN Deck

Yet another re-released Dragon warbird with added card deck and other diorama items. Not sure if this is their 'creative' way to clear stock but I think the deck goes very well with the CW F-14 in take-off mode.

Hmmn. It's got a SLAM on the middle pylon--that's correct! However, it still has AMRAAMs on the wingtips, which cannot happen.

Is the base made of cardboard? or is it thick and sturdy?

It STILL has because it ALWAYS had. Looks like its just one of the original Super Hornets Dragon did with air-brake and all.

I said still has AMRAAM's because I think there was at least one DW Super Hornet with Sidewinders, and was hoping they might start correcting more of them.

The VFA-14 Tophatters F-18E came with sidewinders on the wingtips, not AMRAAMs.
 

Don't do what BDE tells you to do. Do what BDE would want you to do.
