1/72 F-22. Academy or Revell? Best for OOB build of production jet?


Recommended Posts

One quirk about the Revell is that the scribing for the radome only appears on the upper fuselage but not the lower half, Revell's QC somehow missed it. It doesn't make the kit completely unbuildable but it does mean you need to do some research to get the proper radome outline.

Detail-wise the Academy. Shapewise the Revell one.

Academy really goofed up the intake area.

I did a comparison image of it in a previous thread.

And that's not builder error, I have 4-5 of each kit and the academy perfectly glued ends up like that.

.. and don't forget there is a Fujimi F-22 kit too?

I like it's scribing very much, it's very sharp and I might well rate it even above the Academy kit which I also rate over the Revell kit.

Price tag might be over other F-22 though depending where you can get it from..
