A few thoughts...
1) After seeing pics on the Tank, I was REALLY surprised by how small it is. I figured it would be roughly as big as the bbi F-18 and F-16, but it's tiny next to those.
2) While it does seem a bit cheaper than the Joe vehicles, it's closer to them than to the bbi/21st Century Toys stuff. In fact, that coupled with the size makes it feel like a REAL natural addition to the Conquest and Rattler. They make a natural group, and the F-18 and F-16 really stand out as separate.
3) I was never going to repaint it the way some Tankers have, though I am really jealous of their skill. Still, I am sorely tempted to grab some IG or regular Cobra stickers for it... the black really works for a Cobra jet, and I figure Cobra needs some air support now that Joe has those bbi fighters.....
All in all, I'm really happy with it.

Only the ground vehicles are really close to 1:18 the Large aerial stuff (Raptor, Thunderbolt II, Blackhawk) are smaller.
As stated before, the Raptor is actually 1/35 scale.
