GreyGhost Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yeah, it's not often one gets to put their last name on a build in the form of a tailcode ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That's certainly quite the decal sheet. Anyone know if it is printed by Cartograf? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That actually looks quite nice...shapes seem fine with paint on them. =Awan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Oompa likes, but will never be loyal to the raptor. I will definitely have to get one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
illithid00 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Alright! There's a Nellis jet on that decal sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That's certainly quite the decal sheet. Anyone know if it is printed by Cartograf? Yep, it's Cartograf printed. Not an F-22 fan, but maybe that sheet will pull me over the line. If bought aftermarket, you'd have to shell out 20 $ for a sheet like that I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Impressive decal sheet, it looks like a crowdy Afterburner decals 'one. Will surely buy one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Man, am I glad I never bought the Italeri kit a few months ago. I'll be picking up two...one for now and one for later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 This is a kit I'll be buying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Two canopies, one clear, one tinted, good news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tricose Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Definately looks good - just wondering what the price will be like after seeing the prices yesterday at my local shop on a new Hasegawa Thunderbolt. Almost made me clutch! But will probably be added to the list of projects. Tricose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pruz Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Entire fuse and wings in two parts! Hope that idea catches on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dylan Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 NICE!!!! any news of a release date? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Filak Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Definately looks good - just wondering what the price will be like after seeing the prices yesterday at my local shop on a new Hasegawa Thunderbolt. Sprue Brothers has the kit listed on pre-order for $53. In the grand scheme of things, maybe a little pricey, but not off par for most comparably sized 48th jets these days. Unfortunately, the days of $20 new kits are long gone. I've been looking forward to this release for a long time now, and I'll be picking up at least two of them for myself. I agree that the decal sheet is a very ambitious effort, and I'm looking forward to seeing the first completed builds of this model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dean spirkoff Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 i hope this will not one of those kits that is to hard to find that it drives the price up more and i only hope hobby lobby will get it i will get one with every 40%off cupon they have Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm way more impressed with it than I thought I would be. I think I'll give my Italeri one to my kids.... Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
etripke Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Got these from the Academy website. Sorry if it's old info: Anyone know if that is a realistic loadout for a Raptor? Being it has never been used in combat (at least as far as we know) I'm just just curious. Edited November 22, 2008 by etripke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a standard Academy kit, so it shouldn't be any harder to find than any other Academy kit. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Yes, it will be normal production, but I anticipate hot demand initially for it. So there might be some shortages before supply meets demand. Reason being is both the Revell 1/72 F-22 and the Trumpeter 1/144 offering sold out for a couple months at the distributors in the US when they both hit these shores. I LIKE IT!!! The decal sheet on this thing looks more crammed then the one RoG did for the Typhoon! Edited November 22, 2008 by Jay Chladek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
