I'm sorry to do this again so late in the sheet's development, Kursad, but if not already, do consider one more particular ship, for the sake of the aficionados. 

F-22A 10-4195 525th FS 'AK' 

This aircraft is noteworthy as it is the last of the 195x F-22s to be manufactured.

Hey Kursad, is the list of the aircraft that will be on the sheet already known? 

 

Not yet apart from a few specially marked aircraft - but I can only put so many test jets on it as there are many operational units that need to be covered. I already took your emails into account but since I know you are primarily interested in the test airframes, let me know what your final selection is.

I appreciate that you remembered me! Thanks! But, I am also genuinely curious about the others as well, especially as it pertains to Langley and Elmendorf. 

 

The sheet will definitely be worth the wait. Thanks Kursad

I think it's time to admit I got a bit too carried away with this subject - there were so many good subjects I kept adding to the option list over the years that there is no way I can fit everything on a single sheet... It now looks like you can expect not one, but two F-22 sheets in July/August from me!  These will have almost every marking seen on a Raptor since the early days of introduction: every base, almost every unit, special markings ("Cripes A'Mighty", "Maloney's Pony", 90th FS anniversary, complete "card deck" of Edwards test jet nose art), wing/squadron flagships galore. Comprehensive stencil sheet also available as a Basics (CDB48010) item. Bonus generic numbers sheet for those who buy both sets from me directly.

 

Stay tuned - really close now.

This is exciting!

 

Its sounds like a complete Raptor Anthology! 

 

I expect this set to fly off the shelves with haste.

Is there a consensus on the very best 1/72 F-22?  Best fit, accuracy and detail?  

The closest youre gonna get in 1/72, in my opinion, is the Academy F-22. 

 

The details are excellent and the fit is great, though the placement of the compressor faces annoys me.
