Hi everyone,

Here is the Trumpeter 1/144th F-22.  This kit is a fun build.  I built it OOB and painted with Tamiya acrylics.  The washes were done with Warpigs pre-mix washes (good stuff).

Even though the canopy is molded to the upper fuselage, I had to cut it away when dust got up under the canopy when I used my airbrush to clean out  the intakes (won't make that mistake twice). The rotating base is a jewelers display base that turns about 1 rpm, and is available from Squadron for about $15.

Hope you enjoy....Now, where is that small F-35?....
