TwoBobs has turned out another interesting set of markings, this time for the F-22A. This release in 1/48 scale is intended for Italeri/Revell 1/48 F-22A Raptor kits.

The markings in this set are for four Raptors from the First Fighter Wing (Tailcode FF) from Langley AFB, Virginia. Langley is also former home of Tactical Air Command and the current home of Air Combat Command. The four F-22As represent a boss bird plus examples from the two squadrons that have transitioned to the type (the third hung onto their Eagles a little longer). These aircraft are:

  • F-22A, 03-041, 1 FW Wing Cdr's aircraft, July 2006
  • F-22A, 03-044, 27 FS/1 FW, July 2006
  • F-22A, 04-068, 94 FS/1 FW, July 2006
  • F-22A, 04-062, 94 FS/1 FW, July 2006

This set provides all of the markings and stenciling for two full aircraft on one decal sheet.

The instructions have a nice set of color profiles and colors identified to replicate the rather distinctive camouflage scheme worn by the aircraft.

F-22A F-22A

Definitely recommended!
