Just bought an F-22 kit

Post by Proud Marine Dad »

Just bought a Hasegawa 1/48 F-22 kit on eBay.
I think this may be my next build after my long hiatus. :hmm:

Cool! I look forward to seeing your next project.

Thanks Carlos. I look forward to building it.
Got it for $44.99 and free shipping which is a pretty good deal I think.

Has anyone built this kit?
I read a review that said it was excellent other than the overdone details on the fuselage.
The reviewer said they could probably be lightly sanded to make it more realistic so I was wondering if anyone has tried this?

I had purchased two of them on sale from the LHS right as the storm was going on the details, I think. Got them for 23 dollars each. Got cold feet and sold them on EBay about two months later. There are a lot of parts in that kit. You can cut it in half my simply closing the gear and weapons bays!
