Hasegawa 07245 1/48 F-22 Raptor

The F-22 Raptor is an air superiority fighter of the United States Air Force. It was developed as a successor to the F-15C Eagle under the Advanced Tactical Fighter Program, and is a fifth-generation jet fighter, the same as the F-35 and the Su-47 Berkut experimental aircraft .

The aircraft's unique feature is that it has the world's best stealth performance. Its radar cross section is said to be about the same as that of a small bird, so it does not react to the radar of fighter jets in flight.

In addition, it can supercruise without afterburners. All weapons are stored in the weapon bay in the fuselage, and the system is designed to fire and drop each weapon only when it is needed by opening the door .
