I wasn't fond of the stock stickers that the True Heroes F-22 came with, so cobrastickers.com to the rescue! I got a sheet of their Night Boomer stickers, I LOVE red, it's my favorite color, and for Night Force, red looks better than white in my opinion. It looks deadlier. Thus I have applied those stickers to my F-22.
The True Heroes F-22 is 25th Anniversary/Modern Era compatible, and only costs $24.99. Yet, it's bigger than the original Skystriker, and mold-wise, captures more of the ARAH feel than the new sculpt G.I. Joe jets from the last 10 years(Rattler and Conquest, though retooled, don't count as they are retooled vintage molds). Like the original Skystriker, it's a 1/32 scale plane but with enough room in the cockpit to fit a G.I. Joe figure. Not just 1/32 scale, but with accurate panel line detail as well. Just imagine if this company(Motormax Toys, who in turn is actually Unimax, who in turn makes Forces of Valor and diecast aircraft) makes an F-14! Even the landing gear have doors, so that from underneath, you cannot see the gears at all! Very cool. Not only that, they have tabs that make the gear easy to retract. Hell even the canopy frame was pre-painted. I like the F-22 but in my opinion, nothing beats a classic, so I don't call this a new Skystriker. As an homage to the Night Boomer, I call this a Night Raptor. I studied the carcass of my Night Boomer to see where the stickers should be placed, also taking into account what I know about the F-22. Without further ado, here it is: |

i have the same jet. i'm currently doing my first custom with it. i painted mine grey with a 2 tone underbelly. not the best job, but it'll do. a few touch ups, and sticker applications (i ordered the sky striker set through 334thjoe.com... waiting to arrive btw), and ace will have a 25th updated sky striker....
