The folks at Franklin Mint must have a copy of "Summer Thunder".

Did you have to put it together or was it already assembled?

It is a metal die cast model - hand painted and ready to display. About 12" long and weighs a couple pounds. My only disapointment is that the gear doesn't retract (but they do sit solidly on the counter

) You can find them anytime on ebay...

I also have that bad boy sitting to the left of my monitors.
To the right side I have the FA-18 in the Blue Angels scheme.
They keep me motivated while formation flying.
