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?

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?

Unfortunately I have to agree. You really do buy HAS kits for the decals haha

Yeaaaahhh boy!! That looks fantastic Kursad!!

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.

F-22 Spin Chute Assembly

F-22A c/n 645-4002

F-22A c/n 645-4001

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?

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.
