Only that the F-22 do not have the stripes, at least not as obvious as it was made to be.

read the post i was replying to. he was stating if it was a real f-22. an my post was intended to say no it isnt.

I say they did a pretty good job. Look at the landing gear, the detail is stunning.

The aft(rear) landing gear has quite a bit of detail. I wish there was an hi-res photo of this "aircraft" That may tell the tale.

What leads me to believe this is a mock-up is the weapons doors on the side of the aircraft by the engine nacells. On the "model" the appear to be smooth. On the real aircraft they jut out just a little bit.

I logically believe it is a mock-up. The guy and the background should not be together with a real F-22.

I saw some front-side pix of the F-22 before. The HUD should be in bright green color and inside the inlets, you should see something round and looks like glass.

How do these people have the time and the energy to build life size plane replicas with wood?

I want to know where they get their money to build the replicas.

I am not sure about the inlet, but I think the replica HUD has a orange fabric cover on it, just like you put a cover on the real plane's hud.
