EXCELLENT NEWS!!!

[philp]

Oh, and I thought the Excellent news was going to be that Radish finally had a camera and knew how to use it.

[Radish]

 

The kit has underwing pylons with fuel tanks moulded onto them.
full weapons bays though.

There will be some excellent models built/painted, but for the unusual?

Certainly not RAF, but a Luftwaffe grey one would look nice, as would one from South Korea.

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).

Hannants have that sheet in their new releases Philip http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=TB72071

Had a look at the kit yesterday - very nice, but not my cup of tea

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

This is exciting news???

[Radish]

Good man, Duncan!!

There's a strong possibility that the Imperial Roman Air Force will take delivery soon

[B777LR]

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?

Now theres an idea!

[John Howling Mouse]

The intriguing thing with an airframe that is noted for its blah grey scheme is that it opens up the Whif field to other possibilities, just for the helluvit.  Black and gun metal F-22's....mmmmm....SEA camo F-22's....USAF Thunderbirds F-22's (remember that poster?)...NMF F-22's...Two-tone blue Ruskie-style F-22's...Cdn AETE scheme on an F-22.

Black and gun metal F-22's....mmmmm....

"Yo Dude..... Pimp My Raptor  "...... Lo-profile chrome wheelz and those really, erm 'cool' blue lights underneath to light up the taxi-way as you cruuze to the threshhold.....

Well, I had said kit in my hand on Saturday......then saw the price!!!!!

14 quid!!!! 

Who do Revell think they are, Hasegawa? 


Ah well, looks like Japan doesn't need to replace their F-4s as badly as I thought

[gunfighter]

Hurry up Radish, the egyptians are getting their Su-35MEM soon, and don´t forget the barbarian´s Firkins...

[Howard of Effingham]

hmm, i have the RoG boxing of the italeri F-22 in the stash and i'll admit that its hard to get really excited about it.

the chap who sold it me istr is a member of the what-if SIG, btw. 

maybe ANG markings. B777 if it went to zimbabwe they'd only be able to afford a model the state that country's
finances are supposed to be in.

oh! duncan i agree. the F-23 was a much nicer airplane! 

[B777LR]

B777 if it went to zimbabwe they'd only be able to afford a model the state that country's
finances are supposed to be in.

Awww, it would "just" cost them 4,124,725,000,000.00 Zimbabwe Dollars...

On the otherhand, the Revell kit would cost them "only" 838,648.51 Zimbabwe Dollars at Hannants (not including shipment).
Alternatives would be:
the italeri kit: 538,979.42 ZWD
The mini hobby models kit: 836,274.06 ZWD



Sadly the Zimbabwean AF wont get the Revell kit this year, Mr Mugabe has just bought a thirdhand Ford Mondeo to replace the Ford T...

We should do a "Pimp My Raptor" GB, based on this kit.
