I've been itching to use the extra stickers the 50th Stealthstriker came with. I've also been wanting to do a custom Joe plane based off the TRU True Heroes F22 Raptor jet. Add to that, the interest in doing a digital camo paint scheme (I've never done this before)
Here are the ingredients: -TRU True Heroes F22 Raptor (mine was the grey camo version) -50th Stealthstriker decals (dark grey left over from the ones I used) -Digital camo stencil -All-Purpose masking film sheets -Printer -Enamel paints (3 colors - I used Light Aircraft Grey, Gunship Grey and Flat Black from Testors)

Started off by taking the F22 apart. There are around 15 screws to take the jet apart. You can see the digital camo stencil I printed out on the masking film sheet (be sure to print on the non-glossy side or it will smear).

I started with a light base color - light aircraft gray spray enamel by Testors, available at Hobby Lobby.
To create the digital camo effect...you have to cut each individual pattern (like a jigsaw piece) from the stencil and apply one layer over your base coat. From there you spray your secondary color - I chose Gunship Gray by Testors. After it dries (I waited a day), apply another layer of digital camo patterns, being sure they cover areas not already covers, being sure they lined up correctly.

I applied the final layer of paint - Flat Black by Testors over all digital camo patterns and colors previously sprayed on.
After waiting another day, you are ready to start peeling off the masking tape, as seen in the photo below. This is a fun process because you can see how the digital camo came out.
