Indeed it is.

But if you want to build 20 of 'em, I'd recommend living in an aircraft
hangar!  16 inches long, 22 inch wingspan. That's one *big* model!

There are an *awful* lot of parts to this kit.  It may be expensive, but it
certainly seems to be value for money. It's not something that you could
knock together in a weekend!

I'll answer my own question... sort of...  :-D

Looks good. The seperate ailerons give it a sort of FROGgy appearance, but I
think I'm going to grab one of these, as a bit of a break from all those
F-4s! :-D

Add a little size to your collection. ;)  
I had one of those ancient Frogs and it was a sizable plane in 1/72.

Size doesn't matter!  It's what you do with it that counts!

Having said that, those wings really need to be folded and that weapons bay
is just crying out to be opened and detailed!

Well, that would be a model but I'm not sure it would look like an
airplane when it was done.  ;)
