Description
The birth of fifth-generation air superiority. This 1:72 scale diecast model by Hobby Master (HA2811B) recreates Lockheed F-22A Raptor #91-4001 "Spirit of America," the very first production Raptor to take flight on September 7, 1997. Assigned to the 412th Test Wing at Edwards AFB, this airframe paved the way for the most advanced stealth fighter in history. This "B" version of the release is highly sought after for its "Loaded Configuration," featuring an impressive array of external and internal ordnance, including AIM-120C and AIM-9X missiles, along with external fuel tanks—showcasing the Raptor in its most aggressive testing profile.
Ideal for curators of modern aviation history and Edwards AFB flight test programs, this Air Power Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact of the F-22's entry into service. The model is engineered for scale accuracy, featuring an articulating hinged smoke-colored canopy, movable horizontal stabilators, and a detailed cockpit with pad-printed digital displays. This premium diecast metal model offers a sophisticated display presence for collectors prioritizing provenance and technological milestones, making it a premier acquisition for any gallery dedicated to pioneer aerospace engineering and the Spirit of America legacy.
