Just in case anyone is curious, Testors has a few kits on their web site at deep discounts:

I picked up a 1/48th f-22 raptor and a f-15 at 1/48 for $19.99 us. each. Shipping was really reasonable too.

No problem, from what I can find on the web, that is half price on those models, and shipping was $7 for the two of them. Also, they only made 2500 of each of these 80th anniversary models.

I have to say tho.. when you click on the "enlarge" thumbnails..it displays a >smaller< photo !

Guess it is plain to see that Testors has decided to get out of the plastic business all together. All of what they are putting out now are either pre-painted diecast that needs some assembly, or completely assembled kits.

Good prices on these kits. Keep in mind that they are all Italeri molds, nothing native from Testors there.

Their F22 is actually a YF-22 kit of the prototype and not what is actually in service today.

Good info to have, Elm City.
I used to think it was Italeri using Testors' molds. Now, I know better

decided to hold off , I counted and already have 9 models to build ..I probably sound like a crazy hoarder, but I got a good deal on them.

Only nine? Amateur.
Most of our stashes here seem to be pushing triple digits. Do it, you know you want to
