The NEW Revell F-22A in 1/72nd is out

[Radish]

In the current Revell tradition with lots of extras and parts.
How many will YOU have?

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

That will be that grey thing that looks like an F-15 but smoother, yes - Finding it hard to keep my indifference in-check.

Think "out of the box" Ian.....

Add canards and a white scheme for a Chinese PLAAF J-18

Why not use that lovely F-16XL camo starting in dark slashes of colour at the rear, ending in light colours?

Why not Israeli 3-colour, as in Zactoman's artwork?

Why not grey?

[B777LR]

Why not grey?

Arent Raptors normaly grey?

Think i might get one. And do it in Zimbabwean markings!

Is there a 1/100 Raptor?

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Think "out of the box" Ian.....

Never knowingly in the box, Terry, I just find it really difficult to get excited about the F-22, however I am prepared to be excited about other folks building outstanding models of them !..... Will that do ?

Well, JASDF is a must of course 

Maybe RAF for the RAF100 build.

There was serious talk in the 90s of selling them to Norway (!)

It's a grey thing that looks like a pregnant fish.  I'm finding it hard to keep my indifference from expanding exponentially.  Possibly the most boring airplane ever made (after the F-18).

Nope. If anyone was to make one, expect it to be Tamiya or Hasegawa...

Does the new Revell kit come with underwing stores? What kind?

[Radish]

Don't know, but "yes" would be my response judging from what I remember the USAF SIG Forum saying.

[Captain Canada]

A Russian Raptorski ? In a crash diorama ? Indeed, hard to get excited about, but I do agree there probably will be some fine models done of it.

[B777LR]

A Russian Raptorski ?

PAK-FA?

More ideas: Zwilling F-22, with hand painted Canadian Navy markings, Spats, T-tail, cardboard extra bits, T-tail etc.

[Jennings]

How about a diorama of Davis Monthan AFB boneyard circa 2068 with a Raptor stripped down, spraylatted, and up o blocks, minus engines, radome, canopy, etc?

Ooh Jennings, there is an idea, with some old Eagle parts laying around...

Actually, I am waiting on TwoBobs to get this Artic Viper decals released.  Want to do a 16 in that scheme, but since they have 22's up there also, am planning to do a Raptor in the same scheme (black, grey, white).
