Mao Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Well, i am not exactly a very active member over here. But i would like to share with you my latest creation. The plane is a kit bash from an italeri YF-22 kit. A really poor kit in my opinion but I did get to enjoy myself in the process Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mao Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 my build process can be seen here apologies for not typing it out again, but i don't have much time left, and i will be leaving home for about a week. So I guess this will do. Thousands of apologies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CW4 Erick Swanberg Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nice looking, is that the Testors version redone by Italeri Erick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mao Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nice looking, is that the Testors version redone by Italeri Erick Well, i got the original testors kit. As for the modifications,I did the following: lengthen the fuselage reshaped the nose extended the wingspan change the wing sweep Resized the verticals resized/reshaped the horizontals But the landing gears and the landing gear bays and the missile bays remained untouched so it is a little inaccurate in that aspect. The canopy remains partially unmodified too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Impatient Pete Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Whoa- That looks great! Very nice finish. And good job making a nice model out of that kit! Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Very interesting paint scheme. Is the Samurai graphic from the 1/48 F-2B kit? Did you scale it up or is it stock? Thx, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mao Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Apologies for the 2 month old reply. I haven't been looking at this forum and i didn't really expect that much replies. But I would like to thank everyone for the appreciation and the comments here. And should anybody be interested in building another of his own F-22A, please feel free to drop me a message, I will gladly attend to you. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveV22FE Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) That's looks really good. I am just about finished with my 1/32 YF-22, who knows, when I get tired of waiting for a new mold F-22A, I may just try this approach to building a production bird.
