Very nice work Simon,

The Raptor is one of the nicer looking "Next-Gen" fighters. And with all that junk in the trunk I would not want to mess with one. You've certainly done it justice! 5 Stars ***** from me

Hi Simon, Very interesting, I have the 1/72 Academy in my stash to do, All those tiny missiles must have driven you nuts. 5 Star from me too. The Russian Sukhoi SU-50 by Zvezda is a very good kit of a similar 5th Generation Fighter. Cheers Derek

Thanks to everyone for their great comments.

The kit is an easy build. i did it straight from the box, i think there are loads of after market things on the market, undercarriage and stuff lol

i think the only issue was the 26 decals per rocket a bit repetitious but i think worth the effort.
