I would like to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. Dragon Models made good use of their Dragon Wings line from 1997 to 2014 to create ready-made or assembled and finished models of airliners and warbirds for those who didn’t want to build the aircraft themselves. Most of these were in the 1/144 or 1/400 scale, but a few were in the larger 1/72 scale. This release is from 2007 and presents an F/A-18F Super Hornet from the US Navy’s Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-213 “Black Lions”. Dragon has finished this majestic aircraft (shrunk down to 1/72 scale) for you to conveniently display on your shelf or desk.

I only found a couple of listings for this collectible on eBay (hard-to-find), but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have this in stock and can reliably ship this to you very quickly. Here is what I have found online about this particular product:

The Dragon-Models.com site no longer shows any information for its Dragon Wings line since they are long Out of Production. From other sources, I have found the following scant information about this product:

Features:

 - 1/72 Authentic Scale

 - Ready-Made

 - Die-Cast Model

Dragon has provided this hard-to-find factory built, painted and finished aircraft that is ready for minor assembly and immediate display. The major components come carefully cradled in a perfectly shaped plastic insert packed in a colorful box about 10.5” x 10.5” x 3”. As you can see from the pictures, the box is in pristine shape and still sealed with tape from the factory, so it is factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready.

This item contains one complete diecast metal and plastic model of an F/A-18F Super Hornet from VFA-213 (Black Lions) that has been painstakingly painted and finished. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays the winning bid and for a limited time, I am offering this large and heavy item with $10 Flat Rate Shipping in the US!

No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions and listings for combined shipping. Good luck!

Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder).

As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
