F-22 Raptor
Commenti
Album info
PROS: Decent and simplistic build. Enough parts to keep you honest but not drive you crazy. Most parts fit well such as the tail stabilizers and cockpit canopy. Lots of weapons are included that you normally don't get in most kits, as well as two drop tanks.
CONS: Horrible intake fitting. Expect to spend a day or more sanding/filling. Panel lines are not totally accurate. Instructions show a more detailed plane than what they actually provide. Decals were a hard, thick, matte sheet. They silvered easily and need the nuclear options of Walther's Solvaset. Decal colors are inaccurate as well. If the model is not painted properly it will be hard to see them. Belly missile bay is finicky and is best left closed as the fit is perfect. Use the sidewinder side bays instead.
FINAL THOUGHTS: This is a decent kit that you can finish in under a month. It builds a decent enough Raptor although you'll be better off with aftermarket decals.
