As was said...this is a try-to-do-conversion of True Heroes toy into a model. Few photos from workbench:





























It took over a year but now big Raptor is finished!

Sorry for photos. This baby is too big :(

Much as I dislike the F-22 as an aeroplane, that's AMAZING work on what was effectively a toy to start with.  :thumbsup: :bow:

Well done indeed.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Nice model, but big, yes! A 1/24th version would be even more impossible to make...
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Wow!  That's a big one.
Excellent work.
Have you measured it to see how true to scale it is?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Well , real Raptor measurements are:
Wingspan    13,56 m
Length    18,9 m
Height    5,08 m

...so in 1/32 it should be:
Wingspan    ~ 42,4 cm
Length    ~ 59 cm
Height    ~ 16 cm

And we have here:
Wingspan    ~ 42,8 cm
Length    ~ 59 cm
Height    ~ 16,5 cm (I've made landing gear too hight and I know that) )

So I think general measurements are quite ok :)
