Just a simple in-box review.
Among the features in this kit:
1. Nicely detailed cockpit with the instrument faces and MFD displays provided as decals
2. Nicely done ACES II ejection seat
3. Openable canopy
4. Choice of open or closed air refueling receptacle
5. Choice of stowed or extended ventral FLIR turret
6. Detailed FLIR in nose
7. Choice of plastic or metal landing gear struts
8. Choice of open or closed weapons bay doors
9. 2 x GBU-10 Paveway laser-guided bombs
10. Weapons bay trapezes rendered in the extended position
11. F404 engines nicely done with complete intake and exhaust ducts
12. Choice of plastic or PE intake grilles
13. Movable ailerons
14. Movable flaps
15. Movable ruddervators
16. Choice of stowed or extended communications antennas
17. Optional peacetime corner reflectors for US flight operations
From the parts, it's bit similar to Mr T's F-117, not many overdone separate parts. It's more like an up-scaled 1/48 kit with all the necessary details. This kit should be quite easy to build.
