I'll be looking forward to getting one of those. I did contract work (audio) for their presentation room related to it back in the late nineties. Have a wonderful little gold F-22 lapel pin from the project.

WOW! Awesome! I'm out of the loop, however, with Hobby Master Aircraft. What's their price range usually for something like this?

P51:
Hobby Master F-4 Phantoms, the most expensive of their 1/72 models, usually sell for around $50.
Speculation is that Hobby Master bought the F-22 mold from Century Wings, which unveiled an unpainted F-22 at a toy fair some time ago. I think a Hobby Master F-22 would be cheaper than an F-22 from Century Wings---the latest Century Wings F-14 is $90 now and their SR-71B is $150.

The Mule has it available for pre-order at $64.99, which is a bit more than what they're charging for equally impressive and new F-105s. It is much more reasonable than Century Wings would have been charging if they'd gone forward with one of their own.

i understand that MAP pricing is 64.99. i wonder how many versions they can make. theres only one squadron at this point correct?

Yes, I think so. They are not scheduled to make very many F-22's. I think they are focusing on the 35 since multiple forces will use that plane.

Should be much better than my Gaincorp version.
