1/48 JASDF F-22

This is the old Revell F-22 kit. There are better versions of the kit available now so I decided to do something a little different with this one. I have always liked the look of the Japanese blue camo aircraft.

Even though there are some shape issues with this kit, it went together pretty easily. The finished kit looks fine as long as it isn't placed next to another F-22 kit. Custom and Platz decals were used to make this a WHIF aircraft of the 8th FS. A cheap wood plaque was painted and distressed to provide an in-flight base.

Enjoy the photos.
