This is an excellent review of the Hasegawa F-22 Raptor in 1:48 scale. Dave has used some great techniques to achieve the unique ‘metallic-grey’ finish applied to real F-22s. He has used the excellent bespoke Mr Color and Hobby Colour paints as recommended by Hasegawa and designed for this aircraft.
36 pages of A4 – you won’t get that in a paper mag! Happy reading… Geoff

This is a limited run kit that is not cheap but that said it makes a great looking Hurricane straight from the box without the need for any aftermarket parts which would easily increase the overall price of the Revell kit up to this level – and this kit is more accurate.
