It has canted vertical tails like the F-18, the intakes are farther apart unlike the MiG, but are the higher speed versions used on the Super Hornet, the blended strakes are the same shape as on the F-18 and the outer leading edge of the wing is the same as what you see on a Super Hornet. Other than that? Yep, just like a MiG-29.

The entire fuselage, with the exception of the square intakes, are MiG-29. Damn near perfect match.

The strakes are much more indicative of the MiG-29, as is the leading edge of the wing.

The only F/A-18 similarities are the intakes, canted tail and what looks like a folding wing. The entire cockpit and nose resemble nothing like the F/A-18, which is much longer with significantly longer strakes.

I still say, with great confidence, MiG-29 ;)
