Take a close look at the skin coloration...yep it is shiny...raptors paint contains a silver/metallic mixture!!! Very hard to replicate yet it looks amazing!!

1. THEY HAVE TO GET THE COLORATION RIGHT!!!! RAPTORS ARE NOT PAINTED WITH A FLATCOAT!!!

2. Raptors have bombays and bombay doors that OPEN AND CLOSE!!! can we at least get some varation!!

3. The F-22 has gears that go up and down!!!!!!!

Well, seeing as WW is now doing gear options, if they get the paint right, this could be good news.

Haha bandit95, what's make u believed that DW will get the coloration right than WW??? Look at all modern jets from DW, how they can compare with WW (maybe just exclude F/A18).... I agreed that WW dont have landing gear option, but nothing to make sure that they still do it with F22.

Thanks for posting this again...the -22 with the external tanks looks pretty interesting. I hadn't seen one with external hardpoints yet.

Bring it on! Let's hope WW will put out all the stops to get a nice looking Raptor before X'mas 08.

Yeah, especially as I just sprang for the GC version

We shall see.... we shall see.... that one may have a quick turnaround to good ol' ebay..

You can always send that GC F-22 my way, Pappy...I don't mind at all!

I'd still feel safest with HM doing the F-22A over Dragon or Witty Wings. Still, I'd be happy if DW or WW did it instead of what GC provided. I sure hope GC producing the plane didn't take away from another manufacturer's consideration in doing the F-22. The GC Raptor, from my personal experience, was junk with mismatched parts (coloration & fit) and its overall sloppy appearance!

Modern aircraft are not my thing, but why wouldn't Century Wings tackle one of these F-22 bugggers? Looking at everyone's pics in their collections, they seem to be the best company for producing modern fighters.

Must be E.S.P. I guessed Witty would also do the F-22/35. I think Witty would be a fine choice and an affordable one at that. With such an new and evr popular bird perhaps they both will make this model and we can all go home happy. I am in the market for the Gaincorp F-22 Raptor someone PM me with an offer please.
