Hobbymaster 1/72 F-22 Raptor "Symbiote" 04-4070 Nellis AFB March 2022 Diecast Model Aircraft

Designed to meet a US Air Force requirement for an Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) to replace the F-15 Eagle, the F-22 was first flown on September 29th, 1990.

The USAF's ATF program aimed to produce a fifth-generation air superiority fighter that would be better matched against emerging new aircraft such as the Su-27 Flanker.

The F-22 uses stealth technology and can function in air superiority, ground attack, intelligence and electronic warfare roles.

Despite its capabilities, the F-22 program was relatively short-lived; by 2010 its high cost coupled with the development of the F-35 (a more versatile and less expensive aircraft) led to a cessation of F-22 production funding.
