oyoy5 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Man the Testors kit sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 And the old Testors kit is of a YF-22, which is very different from a production Raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Matt Foley Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It would be nice. Maybe Italeri will if the F-35 sells. On second thought, they will probably look to release B and C models first. Since Japan will have to F-35 soon, I am still hoping that the rumors of Tamiya producing one is true. Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUROK Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The Testors YF-22 is bad unless you want to build the prototype YF-22, of course. There is a toy available that scales out to 1/32 and besides being a toy would look pretty good with some work and a paint job. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motormax-F-22-Raptor-GI-Joe-Elite-Force-True-Heroes-3-75in-1-18-/272644482457?hash=item3f7ae0a599:g:4l8AAOSwmCVY~vfO The auction says 1/18 scale but that is not correct. If true that toy would be huuuuuge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger16 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Yes, that's Tamiya next 1/32 kit, announcement should be coming soon. I wishhhhh Edited May 2, 2017 by Stinger16 Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 There was a poll taken here on LSP by somebody of behalf of an unnamed firm and the general response to a 1/32 F-22 was negative. My own humble view is that F-22 is the kind of subject that needs to be done by a manufacturer with a reputation for superlative fit and quality plastic, which really means Tamiya. That seems very unlikely but it would indeed be great. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 A 1/32 Raptor would be nice, though it makes sense the F-35 Ugly was done 1st. More operators compared to the one the F-22 has. I have a feeling it may go to war sooner as well. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushande Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Oh well ... at least I'm not the only one whining about that. I'm so starved for that thing in man's scale that I would even accept Trumpeter doing it. ..... And saying that doesn't come easy, I tell you! johncrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
