1:72 Scale  Metal Diecast – Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor Tyndall AFB  – Length: 10.25"  Wingspan: 7.5”

This Raptor model is single seat aircraft and does not includes a pilot figure. The landing gear is optional, one can select to display the landing gear in its extended position or to cover the wheel wells as in the inflight position. The bay doors for the weapons compartment are also opened and displaying the internal weapons which include 2 short range AA missiles and 6 medium range AA missiles. A metal stand where the model can be attached for display is included.  The stand is made entirely of metal, it is very sturdy and it is held together by a nut/screw assembly. The wheels can roll freely and are quite smooth (so be careful where you put this thing, or it could roll downhill). The fuselage is all metal and really quite heavy.

The maker of the model, Air Force 1, really did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very clearly defined. The elevator surfaces are movable and the thrust nozzles have some movement up and down imitating the thrust vectoring as in the real airplane.

This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy. It also has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile. If you have small kids that like to play with your models, save yourself some frustration (and money) and wait till later to get a model like this one. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14.
