I didn't like the new generation f-22 beacuse it puts every weapon inside the fuselage and It looks so plain.... I know that the sthealthiness requires to hide everything below deck but...i don't know... well a couple of weeks ago a really good friend of mine ask me if I could build a f-22 from italeri for its office and I had to say yes (he's my lawyer so I exchange my work for it's legal services in the future).
This is the kit box, F-22 Raptor Italeri 1:72 box
first I assemble the 4 parts of the fuselage and start sanding and fitting (at first glance the kit looks good with great potential of detail for the misile and bomb bays).
Then I intended to open the escape petals of the vector thrust so first I need to cut off the escape petals from the fuselage.
