Yup its got front and rear landing gear. And it fits 25th figures as his pictures show.
Me personally I'm thinking that i'll paint it grey, leave the tailfins black and make an updated "skystriker" out of it. The F14 was the airsuperiority fighter of its time, The F-22 is the closest thing until the F-35 comes out ( and it doesnt look that different anyway!))

The F22 is solely an American aircraft while the F35 will be an Ally fighter for general release. THis way We Americans can keep the skies ours.... No offense to any of our international tankers.

Damn, that's nice! A new paintjob and it would be really sweet. First I'm seeing or hearing about this. Did this baby just come out recently?

Not necessarily. The F-22 is being offered to Japan and Israel, as well as a few other countries. It's competitor in Japan is the Eurofighter if I am not mistaken. The real reason the F-22 will be the main superiority fighter for the USAF is because it is the best fighter they have, and meant to be. It is a master of air to air combat. The JSF F-35 is a jack of all trades, master of none, and many nations have already invested in it's development, because they want it.
I'm sorry friend, but I believe you're incorrect on that one. The F22 Raptor is ours (The USA's) and ours alone.

Or supply me with information otherwise. I've view3d specials on the plane and read articles supplied by the Air Force. No where did it state that we'd share anything pertaining to the Raptor. The F35 Lightning yes, but that's it. And I don't see Japan anywhere on the list of potential participants in the F35 either.

Tough call on how to paint this guy:
Grey - Traditional color. Silver - Unique Khaki Camo - Movie Starscream White with Blue and Red detail - Traditional Starscream

...On the negative side, the F-22’s extensive and not fully-revealed capabilities have made many in the USA very nervous about exporting it, and thereby risking a security breach around its electronic architecture, stealth aspects, or next-generation data links. Licensed Japanese production, a standard requirement for other Japanese fighter deals, would be unlikely – or extremely limited if allowed. The US wouldn't allow some other country to have the secrets to thier top secret fighter. Perhaps a dumbed down version will be sold, but that's it. The F35 is the other option, but it isn't as good as the F22.

I thought the air force and congress nixed any chance of sale of f-22s to a foreign country, even allies. The last i heard Australia was the closest to getting them and trying very hard to lobby congress to allow sales of the plane, but again last i heard, it was still ours only.
