Hobbytime Review
The Lockheed F-22 Raptor is an American air superior warrior with electronic warfare and electronic clock as well as highly advanced land attack capabilities. The F-22 was the winner of the advanced tactical fighter aircraft competition announced by the USAAF in April 1991 and dating back to 1981. At that time, a program of 12 billion dollars was launched and the construction of a high maneuverability capable of indirectly controlled aircraft was launched. The secret warrior began. The US navy joined the program in April 1986, hoping to build the successor of Tomcat. At the end of the same year, the Ministry of Defense announced that Lockheed and Northrop were moving to the next stage. Each of the companies would produce a prototype called YF-22 and YF-23 respectively. From that moment on, Lockheed joined forces with Boeing and General Dynamics, which later resulted in the division of serial aircraft works between Boeing and Lockheed facilities. The first prototype of the YF-22 was called 87-3997 / N22YF and was equipped with newly built General Electric YF120 engines. The flight of the plane took place on 29 September 1990. Shortly after, on October 30, 1990, a second 87-3998 / N22YF prototype, operating with alternative Pratt-Whitney YF119 engine, was blown. Northrop/McDonnell Douglas team carefully compared the opponent YF-23 parameters after the competition YF119 Motor YF-22 was announced. The design of the F-22A's latest version was frozen in March 1992. The differences in compared to the prototype included the increasing the trapezoidal wing opening to 13,59 m, but this did not increase the surface of the wing, a decrease in the thickness and bending of the wing profile in the root, the aircraft was better controlled in terms of supersonic speeds. The area of the double vertical tail was reduced to 27.2 m2. The Lockheed F-22 Raptor is one of the first fifth generation warplanes, although not the only one in the world. Thanks to the use of a completely new power unit (two Pratt-whitney F119-PW-100 motor with vector-thrust) and low aerodynamic resistance, the speed of F-22 exceeds 2.4MA according to non-formal data. In addition, maneuverability is quite high, which allows you to perform acrobatic figures such as pugacheva cobra or kulbit. Another important feature of F-22 is Stealth technology; However, less than F-117 is based on RAM and more aerodynamic excellence, the overall shape of the body and refined external details. However, the full radar appearance (RCS) is still classified. It is also very important to use an extremely innovative AN / APG-77 radar that is possible to detect objects at a distance of about 250 km. Moreover, this radar allows the F-22 to move like a "mini-Awacs" aircraft, which significantly increases the combat capabilities of the striking teams with this plane. AN / APG-77 can also be used to attack the enemy's electronic radar and to overload the sensors. The production of F-22 ended with the production of 187 serial aircraft in 2011 and Lockheed had to take care of production lines and facilities. F-22 is not exported due to technological progress.
About Hasegawa
Hasegawa Corporation (株式会社ハセガワ, Kabushiki Gaisha Hasegawa) is a Japanese company that produces plastic model kits of various vehicles, including aircraft, cars, ships, military vehicles, model armor, model spacecraft and science fiction kits. Hasegawa, headquartered in Shizuoka, does not have such a wide range of products, but competes with his neighbor Tamiya. First of all, Hasegawa kits, which uses polystyrene, are typically very accurate, but still lack the ease of assembly offered by Tamiya Kits, although it is very high.
Hobbico is imported to North America by the Great Planet Model Distributor Department. Hasegawa ended his long -standing agreement with Dragon Models Limited for US distribution in early 2010. Hasegawa also brings Revell to Japan, which sells them to Japan and sells them under both the Revell brand and their own brand label, and Revell often re -boxes for European and North American markets. Hasegawa Kits, which do not have their own paint products series, come with instructions that indicate the use of Gunze Sangyo products, especially GSI Creos brand paints. This is contrary to Tamiya, which determines the use of in -house brands. Hasegawa is known for launching a large number of main products, adding or changing a small number of parts, or changing stickers only for SOE. This strategy allows them to raise the return of their investment in SET tools to the highest level, because the production of such small variations is very low compared to the production cost of the original. Most of such variations are usually published only once.
