F-22 Raptor Canopy, HUD & wheels paint masks

F-22 Raptor Canopy, HUD & wheels paint masks for the I LOVE KIT kit

Re-usable die-cut paint masks

Interior + Exterior masks are included

The set includes one sheet of pre-cut masks (shown in the picture). The masks are made from thin masking tape, which is easy to be peeled off and doesn’t leave any stains. The tape is tested on clear and painted model too. If carefully removed after painting, they can be used over and over again. It is flexible and easily applied over curved surfaces. Semi-transparent for easy and accurate placing.

F-22 Raptor

is the first operational fifth generation fighter jet. It is made by Lockheed-Martin Corporation, in USA. F-22A Raptor is designed specifically and used only by the USAF. Despite several attempts to be exported, the jet production lines were dismantled and only 195 jets were produced, before the run ended in 2011. According to some sources, the facilities /or fractions of them/ to produce the F-22 were kept to eventually re-start the production. However, that would raise the price per unit produced, which makes the chances of freshly made F-22 to appear in the future highly improbable. The need for air superiority fighter slowly diminished in the last several decades, which makes the F-35 the most likely substitute for the F-22 Raptor. Again, lower price and maintenance are the main reason for the fact, not the specific platform qualities.
