Airplane or dinosaur??

If you mean the F-22, there is only the Italeri kit, which is also reboxed by Revell Germany. Not a great kit, but the only choice.

There's also a YF-22 produced by testors, in 1:32 scale if you're not picky about test vs productions versions.

I would be surprised if it wasn't a rebox. But I'm too lazy to investigate.

Why? The aircraft isn't even in service yet, and the current test aircraft differed greatly from the prototypes

Remember when Airfix used to get lambasted for releasing models of prototypes instead of waiting till the service versions appeared? The NA39 Buccaneer kit springs to mind for example. Yet now there's a branch of the hobby that specialises in prototypes. I still wish the YF-23 had won though...

i've seen and heard so much in the media...maybe that's why. when does it enter service?

Didn't the BBC say it entered service this week? And go on to say it was outdated already (i.e., designed for the cold war, etc).

Not trying to flame, just recalling the article.

I think this is another kit for the Trumpeter wish list amongst the Sepcat Jaguar. Big :-)

God damn sig ;-)

Spence aka Warty

Wouldn't hold my breath on that one...

But a Mig-23 and/or Su-22....oh, BABY!!!
