Popular Post dragan_mig31 Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 I present you my latest finished model of a fully stealth fighter aircraft.The great hasegawa f-22.The kit itself is pretty good.No major issues during the construction.I have added a colored eduard PE set in the cockpti and I have tinted the canopy.The painting was done using hataka and gunze lacquers and I hope I have captured the look of the f-22 camo that has a metallic tint to it. 87 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 That's a superb finish. About as close as I've seen anyone get to the authentic look of the aircraft. Very well done 👏👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I agree with Alan! I really like the subtle weathering as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Dragan…….I agree with the previous comments from Alan and Alpha Delta. You did a superb job at recreating the Raptor especially with it`s complex camouflage pattern. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 That's a grand paint job. You made the aircraft look a lot more interesting than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winded Penguin Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Agree with all of the comments above. The screen tinting is especially convincing to my eyes. Can you share any details about how you did that part? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Amazing surface texture, you nailed the look of a well-worn Raptor. How did you achieve the metallic effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Agree with all the above comments. I’m not a big fan of the latest generation of jets but this one is beautiful. John. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dot Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 You have captured perfectly the worn look of today's Raptors. Very well done indeed Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Despite being a Gen-Z modeller who will have to become very familiar with these 4.5/5th Gen jets I agree with @Biggles87 they aren't my favourite but this build has made me seriously reconsider whether to pick one up in the future and have a bash at it. By far the most realistic version of the F22 I've ever seen in this scale. I know its already been asked but how did you achieve the effect and what exact colours did you use out of interest?

paulsbrown Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Yeah, I think that is the best result I've seen yet for achieving the Raptor skin. Awesome. Let's hear how you did it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano353 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Terriffic looking Raptor. I have the Academy one in my stash I was going to build it next. How did you tint the canopy? It looks much better than whats in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Honestly, I'm not a big Raptor fan but your model is an excellent example of the highest quality work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragan_mig31 Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hello to all of you.first I would like to thank everyone that took the time to comment. The canopy was tinted by spraying Tamiya Smoke diluted with Mr.Color Leveling thinner in several coats on the top side of it only.I havent sprayed anything on the inside. The painting was done in sevveral layers.I sprayed the model in Hataka have glass grey that is actually a metallic paint.Than I sprayed the camo patches in gun metal from model master enamels.I oversprayed the whole kit in highly diluted mr color H307 and after that I resprayed it in highly diulted hataka have glass grey.The ram panels are mr hobby H-308 and the exhauts are painted in mr color c08 and 4-5 coats of tamiya smoke to tint them.

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing. I bought AK Extrene metal chrome and gunmetal and was going to use those to do the camo pattern then spray diluted grey. Just wondered about the decals though. Did you apply a gloss coat for them? I worry it will remove any shine from the metal colours underneath.

dragan_mig31 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Try it it sprays and it can be brushpainted without any problems.It dries in 1-2 minutes and can be handled after 5-10 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
