Thanks for the invite. Yah, I love this F-22. It's been on my shelf for a bit and still a WIP to my Skystriker project. I originally bought this plane to convert to an F-35 but I'm not quite that skilled in reworking the plastic. So it stays a F-22 in my fleet. In my opinion, this is a way better version than the cheapo VvsV F-22 the Joes got. And great customizing capabilities!

AGREED way better than the Thunderwing F-22 from VVV! That's why whenever someone asks "why doesn't Hasbro make an F-22", I point out the Thunderwing and tell them to get the True Heroes Raptor! I hope this is not the last True Heroes plane by Motormax, as it is great! Hopefully we'll see a Super Hornet, Super Tomcat, YF-23, JSF, et al, from them next year.

I'm in, guys. thanks for the invite, although i haven't done much customizing lately. i have used the F-22 twice, once for a slaughter's marauders F-22, and once for an ROC blue camo F-22.

It's cool Kevin, this group is not just for us customizers of the F-22 but fans of it too! It's a great modern jet toy for Joe fans.
I only have 2 so far(Night Force Night Raptor Custom, and Sky Raptor Custom using the 1998 Conquest stickers from Cobrastickers for a new ride for Slipstream), but plan on getting more. If Cobrastickers ends up making navy squadron stickers I will make a navy Raptor. I am already planning on a few using a mix of their sticker sets.

Yah... My beef with Joe Aviation is that there's no real carrier based fighters/JSF. Dont' get me wrong the Conquest is a great future-forward design. But by all sense of reality and physics cannot and will never be a carrier-based aircraft. That's what was great about the Skystriker. But sadly, this aircraft is very dated. And in my Joe Universe, they usually get the most up-to-date stuff. Even gear that isn't 100% battlefield tested.
In the real world, the F-22 can be modified for carrier placement. But it's too costly for a normal fleet to use. This is where a nice F-22N (Naval Adaptation) can come into play with the Joes. It's future friendly and versatile (much in the way the Skystriker was). So this is where my love for this plane comes into play.

What's up guys? It seems that Joes fit a little tight in the cockpit. Did anybody modify it slightly to make them more comfortable? I'm debating it but wanted to at least see what suggestions anyone may have. Thanks.

I haven't modified mine at all, I just remove the control panel and replace it after putting the figure in sometimes.

Sailor_Joe:
You know the Tru Heroes F-22 is actually an F-22N right? It has an arresting hook for carrier landings! No you can't "drop the ball" BUT it is there on the mold
