The F-22 Raptor is an American Air Force anti-aircraft fighter developed as part of the Advanced Tactical Fighter program to succeed the F-15C Eagle. It belongs to the same fifth-generation group of jet fighters as the F-35 and the experimental Su-47 Berkut.

Key features of the F-22 Raptor include:

• World-leading stealth performance: Its radar cross-section is said to be comparable to that of a bird, rendering it nearly undetectable by enemy fighter radar during flight.
• Supersonic cruise capability: The aircraft can achieve sustained supersonic speeds (supercruise) without using an afterburner.
• Concealed armament system: All weaponry is housed within internal armament bays, with the system opening to deploy weapons only when needed.

Kit Details:

• This 1/48 scale model kit of the F-22 Raptor is a highly detailed and accurate representation of its stealth-optimized design.
• The kit faithfully reproduces the aircraft’s unique airframe shape and incorporates the texture and appearance of radar-absorbing materials.
• Interior details, including the cockpit, air ducts, weapon bays, and leg storage compartments, are precisely modeled.
• The flaperons on the main wing can be configured in either a down or neutral position.
• The thrust-vectoring (VT) nozzles can be mounted at different angles.
• A seated pilot figure is included, with two optional helmet types.
• The weapon bay, one of the standout features of this aircraft, can be opened and closed. The armament includes AIM-9X missiles (two) and AIM-120C missiles (six).
