Ingo Degenhardt Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Here's my Hasegawa F-22 Raptor, finished last year. Additional items were Cockpit and nozzle sets by Aires. As the kit decals were a huge disappointment, I mainly used an Academy sheet - courtesy of @Stevej60. Here are the images. I tried to simulate the "Raptor sheen" by using Hasegawas way of mixing Gunze Colors with paints from their 'Super Metallic' range which worked quite well but the paints suggested were not always to my liking - being either too dark or too light. So did my own mixing - at least for parts of the colours used. The sheen itself is very subtle, not quite as intended but rather a little to less than too much I think. There's a hint of 'sheen' on this one The Aires nozzles with their fine texture on the moving nozzle parts. Despite the rather complex construction of the kit everything goes together very well - given a little patience and some dryfitting. I've loaded this model with four 'SDB's" - small diameter bombs and AIM-9X missiles. I do not know if the standard F-22 is already equipped to carry them but if not, they should be very soon. The SDB's are by Skunk models. That's it for my F-22. Hope you like it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Fantastic. Really great finish and well displayed. One of the best 'sheen' finishes I've seen. Very nice model, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
