Complete and sweet! Outstanding job and very convincing details. I work for Boeing on F-22 Program and that build looks as good as the actual bird. Well done and thanks for sharing.

thanks I haven't figured it out yet everything I have in the stash is dedicated to campaigns next year so I'm either going F-15,F-5 or both and maybe another F-16 or and A-6

I had a question, on that model you did, how many times did you paint it? like from the first coat to the end? what kind of process did you do? and I am trying to work with the raptor sheen as well and i don't have a spray gun, I am just curious if you can still add the raptor sheen on after you paint and before you apply the clear coat, is that possible?

Well first I added the raptor sheen to every color mixed the sheen good first before mixing it into the paint then mixed those good.layed down my base coat in this case the lighter of the grays and then gave it a day to dry probably 3 to 4 coats to make sure every thing was covered if I remember right it's been awhile.then I came back in and mask the camo scheme.same process as before a little light sanding with some wet sanding paper really fine grit to blend everything.let sit for a day or so.i came back in and sprayed with future.again giving it a little dry time,decaled and then one more time with future. if there's any other questions feel free to ask

The end result is in any case very good!

About the model itself. The surface of the plane seems to have very pronounced raised and sunk area's.

That does not seem to be realistic compared to pictures of the real thing?

True drab they are a little Over done but it's still the closest kit so far so you have to take the good with the bad.im sure if sombody wanted they could tone these down.
