I really like the F-22 but I dont knowof any good kits available because the plane is fairly new still. If anyone could help me out id really appreciate it.
As far as I know, italeri and RM are the only ones out there that make it. Both of them have issues IIRC.
Panda makes an F-35, which also has issues
So go ahead, pick your poison and hopefully someone will be able to give you a better review.
i’m hoping for a new tooling of the F/A-22 soon. i think the RM kit is a reboxing of the Italeri kit.
thanks guys
just picked up the Italiari kit. Its not so bad but the cockpit is really lacking in details.
Wait until you fit the air intakes! [:D]
BTW - I heard back from TwoBobs as to why he hasn’t released his Raptor markings yet - he’s waiting for a better kit. The Revell Germany kit is the Italeri kit.
Are you listening Revell-Monogram? After that excellent F-15E and Rafale, you should do a Raptor!
As a sidenote, I was wondering if anyone out there has good links to pictures or info on the paint scheme and markings for “Raptor 01”…those are the markings included with the Italeri 1/48th kit I have. Was this the first operational prototype, first production aircraft? Curious as to how it is being used today, and want to be sure that the blotchy-looking camoflauge is good-to-go. Thanks, jet-buffs.
