Model Review
  Mould & Assembly: For the most part the model is put together well. The only thing that I can point out is the slightly large gap between the horizontal stabilizers and the tail section. Also there is a large gap between the air intake and the main part of the aircraft and between the noise and the main body.
Realism: The realism part of this aircraft is very nicely done. Fully loaded with weapons, and fuel tank. This model is ready for action. The livery and over all detail of the aircraft is very nicely done.
Details: The details on this model are very well done. The only thing that I notice is the lack of detail in the nose gear of the aircraft. There is very little detail in it, and what detail that is in it, is very light and almost hard to see. The decal details are very well done. I like the over all look of the aircraft. It is very appealing to the eye.


Pluses
  Decal detail.
Overall appeal to the aircraft.

Minuses
  Lack of detail in nose gear
the gaps in the tail midsection and nose of the aircraft.

Overall a nice model just a few minor problems. Gaps in the mould are a turn down. But the decal detail and overall look of the model are great.
