nice build there hutchdh. i had an italeri 1:72 Raptor which dont just stand right due to weak landing gears, hope you didnt encounter in this 48th kit.
when in doubt empty the magazine
Very nice job Hutch. I too want to build one someday and that kit looks nice.
Is this the best 1:48 scale kit out for the Raptor?
Did you by chance notice a problem with the AMRAAM trapeeze setup? I put 6 AMRAAMs in the belly of mine with the doors open and the missiles extended.. I don't think they stick down far enough. The side to side clearance is very tight, which made mounting the weapons tricky.. But I was expecting that.
Excuse me.. Is that an Uzi?
Very nice work on the Raptor. The finish and weapons bays are superb.

The B-52 and me, we have grown old, gray and overweight together.
I have built one of these myself.. It is probably the single best engineered kit I have ever touched. The fit was better than anything I have ever encountered, and the detail is impressive. The decal sheet is almost the size of the box top.. I think you can build any current or future F-22 frames from just what is in the box.
Persephones_Dream Hutch, Excellent looking build! Very nice! How was this model to build? I've been thinking about getting one myself and having a go at it. Keep up the great work! -Ro

Kit went together very well. Only minor problem was some gaps that were easily filled at the bottom of the intake nozzles. I enjoyed putting this one together.

I finished by 1:48 Academy F-22. With the exception of the Wolfpack cockpit, this is basically OOB. I concentrated on experimenting with getting the glittery effect on the paint, as F-22s have that sheen with the radar diffusing/absorbing paint. I mixed a combination of Humbrol paint with Alclad and nailed it, although it is hard to pick up in the photos. One minor disappointment is a little decal silvering on the vertical stabilizers that I'll correct at a later date. All-in-all a very fun kit to put together. BTW, I've painted the bottom of the wheels, after I took these photos.
