F/A-18F Super Hornet 1/72 Metal Airplane Model Kits with Stand VFA-103 Jolly Rogers Diecast Alloy Attack Jet Replica PreBuild Military Aircraft Collection for Display or Gift

If this is your first time buying a plane from this brand, here's something important: NUOTIE is the brand (even if you won’t see that name anywhere), but different models are made by different manufacturers — and the quality really depends on who made it. I have the F/A-18F Super Hornet 1/72 and the F-14A Tomcat 1/72, both made by TEREBO, and they’re absolutely AMAZING. Every detail is super well done, the parts feel solid, the build and paint quality are top-notch. Even the packaging is excellent — everything comes so well protected that I’m pretty sure they could fall from 2 meters and still be fine. They’re just beautiful. Honestly, I don’t think they could be made any better. Totally worth the price. On the other hand, I also have the 1/72 A-4 Skyhawk Attack, the 1/72 Harrier Jet Royal Air Force Fighter, and the 1/72 F-16D Block 42 90-0778 "MiG Killer" — these are marked as made by NUOTIE, and the quality is clearly much lower. The packaging is really flimsy, and any bump can break something. My A-4 Skyhawk arrived with all three landing gears broken. The overall quality isn't terrible, but definitely not on the same level as the TEREBO ones. And the base that came with the F-16D is just plain awful — total junk, not even worth a dollar. The TEREBO models (F/A-18F and F-14A) cost me close to $100 each, while the NUOTIE ones (A-4, Harrier, and F-16D) were less than half that — but honestly, they’re not worth it. The TEREBO planes feel like real collectibles. The NUOTIE ones? Just decent toys. So yeah — make sure to check the listing carefully and see who the manufacturer is before you buy.

This thing is awesome! Super detail.

Engines were hard to put in and take out and they sometimes got stuck inside, and the plate that went over the engines would fall out very easily. The stand also got really loose and couldn’t really stay up after putting the plane on and finding a nice pose. But overall highly detailed and playable toy with great features and just an overall great product.

OK so I have been assembling models for over 45 years and I sit on the board of directors for a military history museum. We have many dioramas and models within our museum. I was ready to buy this for $100 however I figured let’s see what it’s about upon receiving the package. I noticed that the entire Amazon box was very heavy, and once I opened the outer box and actually saw the packaging. I knew I was in for a treat because the external packaging Was beautiful. Nothing about the box is Cheap. The model comes fully assembled, except few minor parts, including ordinance. It is beautifully crafted, made out of metal. The paint the decals the detail is amazing for such a small model. It definitely feels like 2 1/2 pounds. It is the correct dimensions. The stand is fabulous. It is every bit as nice as a Franklin mint model all in all I could not be more happy with this. I took the box and some foam board and a few inspirational pictures and made a small diorama of the aircraft landing If you love models you have to get it .

My husband loved it

Pros: Quality is pretty good, packaging is excellent. Cons: Not fully assembled, Instructions are in Chinese, Illustrations are just okay , some parts don't fit and have to be glued on or modified to fit.

Very nice well detailed model. My 14 year old loved it!

Great product. Arrived on time and in good condition. This jewelry box helped me to finally organize my jewelry so that I can find, wear and enjoy it every day. Thank you!

What a great aircraft, it looks great and goes great with my 2 F35'.s, but it did come very late for some reason? but it was worth the wait.

fine workmanship, worth collecting

It's a pretty awesome model and I find myself gazing at it time and again. But be aware, the missiles on each wingtip will break off if bumped against a hard surface.

I ordered the model from this company because of the great write up about their models. It was well packaged. When I took the model out of the package one of missiles on the left wing was broken off, had to have been shipped like that, plus the canopy doesn’t close tight. A little disappointed overall. Won’t order anymore models from cutie. Will look at other companies for better models.
