Blue Angels Hornet

While searching the net about the Armour Blue Angels Hornet, I noticed that some have the sidewinders and others don't. It's kind of scary cause you don't know what you're gonna get. At least both are blue...

Re: Blue Angels Hornet

I have bought two of them and one came with sidewinders and no yellow back...
The other one came with no sidewinders and is perfect...
So i just put the one with no yellow back in the attic and see if it comes in value in a few years.

Re: Blue Angels Hornet

Mine didn't come with the winders, but I wished FM 'faired over' the nose gun ports, oh well....

Starman, were both of them is the latest FM box style or one from CDC and the other from FM? Both planes shown above are sold under B11B196 but I wonder if one of them is an oldest edition.
