Aris GreyNice to see a black widow II Dave.
That kit is very rare @ Europe. we usually find the Italeri boxing.
Beautiful painting and rescribing. Canopy would take a little putty.

Dave Burgess AuteurI was really disappointed when the Yanks chose the F-22. The F-23 is a superior bird IMHO.

Aris GreyYes we would have a spaceship on the skies.. The most beautiful silhouette ever.
The primary numbers, as the documentaries say, were better than yf-22. It was stealthier and faster. But if i remember correctly, it was more expensive and less maneuverable. They chosen YF-22 not only for these reasons but for the more advanced team and building techniques Lockheed Martin had.

Dave Burgess AuteurUpdated the picture album. Did this bird back in 2007, but I never got around to taking a decent set of photos. Decided to do it now, before anything happens to it!

Dave Burgess AuteurThe other factor that went against the YF-23 was the decision not to go with vectored thrust like the YF-22. Apparently, it was one of the deciding factors in the USAF's decision to select the YF-22.

Dave Burgess AuteurToo bad, 'cause the YF-23 is a much sexier looking a/c. Frankly, the F-22 is kind of boring!
