Rapier01 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Those are freakin awesome. That's from the Red Flag- Alaska that's happening right now I take it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longbow Mech Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Good night, if we do not get a new tool 48th scale Raptor soon I am going to go crazy. I have a couple of Raptors I want to build bad!!!!! Brock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rapier01 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I agree... I'd made an attempt to carve one out of wood- it was going to be 05-090- the 90th FS flagship- however the project ended as dismal failure... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Those are freakin awesome. That's from the Red Flag- Alaska that's happening right now I take it? Thanks. Yes, they're from Red Flag Alaska. I've got a couple gazillion more if anyone's interested. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Sorry, guys. I forgot about this thread. I'll put some more up when I get the chance. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viasistina Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Now I'm confused. Since these are some of the best F-22 photos I have seen, they look decidedly "grey" without that metallic sheen that everyone is going nuts trying to duplicate. Is there an FS595 paint callout for this bird yet? Does anyone have any official paint numbers? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Now I'm confused. Since these are some of the best F-22 photos I have seen, they look decidedly "grey" without that metallic sheen that everyone is going nuts trying to duplicate. Is there an FS595 paint callout for this bird yet? Does anyone have any official paint numbers? Thanks. Actually, I'm seeing the sheen on many of the photos in this thread, even the shots Jake took in Alaska. The visibility and intensity of the metallic sheen depends on the lighting and the angle the aircraft is viewed at. Sometimes you'll see it, other times you won't. It even changes as you walk around the aircraft static on the ground. The only FS call outs I've seen has this aircraft finished in the same colors as the Mod Eagle F-15, and some of the the early EMD aircraft (ie - 91-001, 91-006)were in these colors... ...but as you can see in this shot of an F-22 flying with a ModEagle schemed F-15C, you can see the differences in the operational Raptors. Your best bet to finish your Raptor build is to follow the technique that MarkS came up with. Edited April 18, 2008 by Trigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rapier01 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Still no pictures? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tony.t Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The polymer-based paint is supposed to have that weird Chameleon effect, albeit on monotone. I am interested in how Lockheed guarantee a certain RCS after x microns of crud on the lower airframe and y applications of paint for certain markings at a unit level - how do they do it?!? This jet needs serious attention in 1/32 scale, complete with battery-powered, articulated weapons bays and muffin toaster attachment for the big augmented turbofans.

AnthonyWan Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 From last year's McGuire AFB AirExpo/Base Open House. Hopefully the Raptor will be back for a demo this year and not just static! Nothing special...just point and shoot digicam -AW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rapier01 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 No McGuire demo this year, but there is one at Pittsburg if you want to drive across the state or there is the JSOH at Andrews the week after... I'm going to the JSOH since it's litterally right here outside the city. Nice shots by the way, that's our mutual acquaintance's old tail if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
