Flying Blind

I like the smoked canopy glass on the Corgi AA33208 USN QF-4B Phantom Drone for its "nobody's home" vibe.
Dirty Bird

The Dragon Wings (DW) 50056 USN VFA-195 "Dambusters" 'Chippy Ho 2001' F/A-18 Hornet has been successfully given a weathered effect (as opposed to the truly grimy Forces of Valor planes) and is ready to go to war, not an air show.
What to Wear for the Big Dance

Furthermore, DW has been generous enough with the 'Chippy Ho 2001' plane to provide two (2) sets of missiles for the wingtip rails, namely, Sidewinders or AMRAAMs. Decisions, decisions...

Yes, extra missiles are nice on the latest Hornet, but doesn't make up for giving us a dozen half-empty F-16's. :P

(I really want DW to just release a 6-pack of Sidewinders to fill up all those empty pylons)
