    1/72 HobbyBoss F-22 "Raptor"

    i have just finish Hobbyboss 1/72 scale F-22 Raptor. Its a good kit , little decal and great fit. When painting this kit im running into a problem . i want to re-create the metallic look of the aircraft but i cant, my paint was still to thick so i have to do everything again. Back to shading and highlight technique , after that i spray heavily thinned Silver paint on to the model to try to create the metal feel.. it look not bad but im not satisfied . I will try to figure it out how on the next model. And the piston that open the weapon bay is too long , it make the door almost touch the groud.i just find that out when people tell me, im still finding awaay to fixit , cut it shorter maysolve the problem , let me give it a try then
    Here is my build video and photos
    Thank you for watching guys !

    Looks great Tran:thumb2:, the ''Raptor sheen'' is quite difficult to achieve, my Academy one is still on hold till I find some paints for it.:tongue-out3:
    How was the assembly of the kit?
    As I'm looking for a cheap Raptor for some bootleg decals, interested to know how your experience was with this one...

      the kit went all together very well. But before assembly , please wash every part with soap water, this kit have lot of oil on it . Beware of the front landing gear , its very weak. some small gap when install the air intake to the fuselage. and that all , simple kit
