Beautiful!

That is correct.

Fantastic paint job. The detailing is awesome.

No slats, used "Dog tooth". https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=20400.0

Too clean for 1/48.

Don't forget the speed brake.

I don't know if these will help, but they are close.

Yes, they are.

Well, if I was to make an educated guess, I would say that they are debrey from the gear being cycled up after take off.

This is the only picture I've seen of a G91 with sidewinders.

For instance, as reported, one of the two single-seat F/A-18E Super Hornets used in the flying sequences of “Top Gun: Maverick”, bureau number 165667, a Boeing F/A-18E-53-MC Lot 22 Super Hornet from the Low-Rate Initial Production run 2 (LRIP 2) was among the first aircraft being converted to the Blue Angels configuration.

Actually the tail is not painted black. #4 Thunderbird is the slot man who flies right behind #1. That tail is covered with soot from #1 engine exhaust. The engines were not as clean as todays engines.
