Anyone getting this JR Superbug?

Showing at the Mule as a June release, looks nice and i'll be up for one since I missed out on the Dragon version.
I really like Witty's F/A-18E/F's & this will look great alongside the HM F-4 & CW F-14 JR birds

 

Take it out and play with it

I'll more than likely be getting it unless we discover there is something totally wrong like the color is way off or something. I like Witty's Supers

This sample comes totally clean, I am wondering if the final release will look like this too.
I'd like to get a re-issue of early WW Superbugs with correct weapons and the addition of the missing IFF pizza box on the nose.
So far, the only one with grey missiles is the Royal Maces CAG bird, but the livery is a bit off (says DCAG on the starboard tailfin, instead of CAG...the DCAG's name should be on the starboard side of the cockpit, but on the tailfin??? I am not sure...). Re-issues of early liveries (can always change the reg #!) please!

DCAG on the starboard fin is correct (at one point) for VFA-27's CAG. (Otherwise, it says CVW 5)

Re: Anyone getting this JR Superbug?

The Flying Mule has this available together with the Indian AF MIG-29 but this latest Super Hornet does not come with any missile.

No missiles! I'm crossing this one of my list! I was hoping it would be better than the Dragon JR I got rid of.

Re: Anyone getting this JR Superbug?

No weapons is not a deal breaker for me. You'll see these planes more often than not, without weapons. Not to mention, there's nothing too exciting about Witty's loadouts on their other Super Hornets. I have tons of ordinance from other models, I could make something work. I do wish it came with some drop tanks and weapons pylons though. I guess they are going for the "clean" configuration from when this plane was flying the airshow circuit.
