DutyCat Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 It was supposed to be March/April, or so I heard. Here is is the end of May and it has been circulating in Europe for a month or more now. What gives? Anyone know anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

juanchopancho Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I ordered mine from Lucky model last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeskiM Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I just placed an order for the raptor about an hour ago at LuckyModel. They were marked as "IN STOCK"... I only hope I dont screw up the painting much when I get to that point. I am thinking of doing mine with a configuration for a CAP mission requiring extra loiter time. So I'll load it to the gills with AAMs inside and out and with the external tanks on the inner pylons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrvark Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The container has arrived in the US, so they should be arriving in hobby shops very soon now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thegoodsgt Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I have nothing to build or work on until this kit arrives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 The kit has been out for quite some time. Whether the boat with the container has docked anywhere in North America is another matter, but the kit is out. I've got one that came from Germany. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Does anybody know where the container is at this very moment? I need to know exactly when (day and time) the kits will arrive at my LHS. If I don't have this information, I'm going to pull my hair out due to the anxiety and uncertainty. :o Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PayPal me $25 (jrh@pemtel.net) and it's yours. I've clipped major parts off the trees, but it's all there. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Well, I was serious. The first $25 in my PayPal account gets it. I'll never in a million years build the silly thing. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Enjoy the kit, Halibut. I just started a new model (F-105) that will likely take me three to four months to complete. The Revell F-22 should be available at the LHS by the time I finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'm kinda interested in building the Italeri F-22 that's in the front of the stash at the moment, and then doing the new Revell kit. A side-by-side comparison should be interesting. Hmmm, maybe I'll set the F-105 aside and do the Italeri F-22 first! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 To be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't seen the Hobby Model kit. But I have seen a few decent builds of the Italeri F-22, and I'm a big believer that even an "inaccurate" model can be made to look good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
