djos Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi all moved from the stash to display case finally, after many years in box. Will not take lot of your time explaining the model, classic old italeri, quite good fit, not many details, and in overall a nice model. I always liked more this prototype version with big crazy looking tails and sharp edges, which somehow disappeared on production model. Colors Italery acrylics, minimal weathering, i cut some surfaces on the wing to make it more interesting....and that is all. Images....and best regards 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Wow! Looks very very good! I love the look of this aircraft, one of the few good looking fifth gen fighters, along with that Chinese one (J20?) that is a stunning aircraft. And I have a particular soft spot for prototypes and early variants of pretty much any aircraft.

br60066 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Looks fantastic ! Posing the flaps makes such a difference. If your open to suggestions it would look great next to a yf-23 but the italeri kit is like hens teeth. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutcastJoel Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 beautiful work as always there! I love this colour scheme and I have to agree, the early concept looks better (More exciting?) than the production aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbay133 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Great build and colour scheme. Have to agree with the others that the prototype looks much better than the F-22. Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 That's an excellent result. Yes, it looks quite a bit more graceful (to my eye at least) than today's production Raptor and F-35. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Excellent model. Crisp and clean built! Just my opinion is that production Raptor is still more proportionate than the YF-22 with huge tail surfaces. But despite that the F-22 of any model is the best looking gen5 fighter indeed. But tastes are different... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Excellent job on the YF-22! However, can any modern fighter approach the X[F]-32 in terms of sheer beauty? Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I have just spent some time looking for photos of this & a production item, I'm amazed at how much but also how little the change to production has been, quite subtle in its way. Definitely a version worth having & you've done it really well Djordje. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Nice job. I built one of these and the YF-23 when they first came out. Never thought of taking a picture of the pair together,,, John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
