Applied a light panel wash and finished it with dull lacquer.  Still to do are the vector nozzles and weapons, maybe a touch of detail color here and there (nav lights).

Well since the markings provided are for the 1st FW Wing Commanders aircraft did it have the name of the pilot on the sheet?

Brig Gen. Mark A. Barrett, its on the left nose gear door.  He's listed as the base commander.

As I get farther along, the nightly progress becomes less dramatic, more about details.  I was not convinced by my armament door placement and the directions are unclear on the matter.  I pulled up some photos and realized I needed to pull off the door and remount them at correct angles.  I also reattached the nose gear doors.

You can see my chosen weapon load.  2 AIM-9X sidewinders, 2 AMRAAMS, two JDAMS.  That should cover most situations.  Interesting to note that the 20mm cannon is closed when not in use.  Here's a better look at the vectoring nozzles.

Rogue, I have to ask a couple questions. How old are you and how much time do you have on your hands? Because, it has taken me over a year and a half to complete 90% of a model and you have almost completed a much more elaborate and intricate one in three weeks.

Again, that's a sweet looking build.  After seeing your build I have decided to pick one up for myself.  As a fellow Forum member would say, "Me and my wallet thank you" Wink [;)]

I'm 35.  I learned how to work fast when I was the lead model maker for a popular rocket company.  WAS being the operative word.  Now, I have TOO MUCH free time.

Just an FYI guys, and I was pleasantly surprised, the Revell America is the exact same kit as the ROG, and I mean exact. Evidence is provided by a tag inside the sealed sprue bag that says made in Poland as well as being printed on the bag itself. Most ROG models are made in Poland. If you ever look at an ROG box, it's says made in Europe, not any specific country. So if you missed the ROG 1/72 F22, grab the RUS one instead. Won't be disappointed. In fact im sure its just a rebox because even the artwork is exactly the same.

One more try, using direct uploaded from the app store. 

Ok it didn't work either. Anybody know a good app to upload images that works like photobucket but doesn't cost any money? Bish? Don?
