Hobby Master HA2829 1:72 F-22A Raptor USAF 411th FLTS w/ Stealthy Pods


New

Description

The cutting edge of fifth-generation stealth technology. This 1:72 scale diecast model by Hobby Master (HA2829) recreates the Lockheed F-22A Raptor #06-0132, as it appeared in 2022 while assigned to the 411th Flight Test Squadron (FLTS) at Edwards AFB. This release is particularly significant for collectors as it features the experimental "stealthy" underwing pods. These angular pods are designed to maintain the Raptor's low radar cross-section while potentially housing advanced Infrared Search and Track (IRST) sensors, a capability that allows the Raptor to hunt adversaries passively and immune to electronic warfare.

Ideal for curators of modern air superiority and flight test history, this Air Power Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact of the ongoing evolution of the F-22 program. The model is engineered for scale accuracy, featuring an articulating hinged smoke-colored canopy, movable horizontal stabilators, and the unique sensor pod configuration. This premium diecast metal model offers a sophisticated display presence for collectors prioritizing provenance and technological innovation, making it a premier acquisition for any gallery dedicated to pioneer aerospace engineering and the Edwards AFB testing legacy.
