Super excited for the Schoolhouse Test Talons! Seeing a suggestion come to light is awesome! Thank you Kursad! Will the F-22 reprints contain the Block 1 suggestions or will it simply be a straight reprint?

Request: 1/48 F/A-22 Block 1 Raptors
Captain Tyler replied to Captain Tyler's topic in Caracal Models
Sort of related, but Kursad, another 3D part I'd like to pitch. It certainly happens from time to time presently, but earlier on in the EMD phase,the F-22s could occasionally be seen with AIM-120 launchers on the outwardmost hardpoints. I don't think this part exists anywhere. Hobby Master dabbles with it their diecast F-22s. Possible to make these rails and pylon for the HAS F-22A? -
Request: 1/72-48 F-35 "The Early Years"

I should have provided that decal earlier, so I apologize, Kursad -
Suggestion Amendment, @KursadA There are some really good ideas that were provided by the others too. So, how about this: From my list, keep: -F-16C Block 42, 90-0762, 310th Fighter Squadron, Luke AFB, December 2022 -F-16D Block 50, 90-0840, 461st Flight Test Squadron, Edwards AFB, 2024 Especially since Luke just removed their based F-16s, might be a little tribute. Edwards F-16D, because of the red tail flash, and because Im selfish LOL I am in agreement with @Niels on the AZ birds.

Anything else that might be needed for this sheet, @KursadA? -
Excellent kit! I am eager to see the result on the model!

An addon would be great! Nice to hear that 48166 and 48226 will get a minor restock. The addition of 4001 and 4002 might make for a fun bundle. -

Had a thought about these two aircraft recently, I figured it would be a good supplemental sheet to CD48166 and CD48226. This sheet would simply focus on the first two F-22s options, 91-4001 and 91-4002, in their most interesting schemes during the height of their time as test aircraft in the late 90s and into the 2000s prior to the F-22 formally entering service in 2005. The Advanced Tactical Fighter Program in 1990, which tested and evaluated the YF-22 and YF-23, yielded the then called F/A-22. In 1997, 91-4001 was publicly unveiled in Marietta, Georgia to much fanfare, sporting

Any updates on this particular set at this stage?

Any Thoughts on 1/144 B-2 Stealth Bomber?
Captain Tyler replied to Drifterdon's topic in Caracal Models
82-1066 AV-1 "Spirit of America" is a must, especially during the early years of the test program. With the exception of frames sent to the 412th TW, which have ED codes, all are WM codes.
