Introducing. . .
Capt. Lewis "Slo-Mo" Davis and his pride and joy, the F-22E/X.
Similar to the original she has all F-22 current abilities, but this one is truly "all weather capable" due to and an "Enhanced" polymer applied to the paint.
Its weapons systems have been modified to carry all NATO armaments and even Chinese and Soviet weapons (should the need arise).
It is the perfect air superiority fighter for a PMC of Pantheon Securities Inc. caliber where plausible deniability is a must.
Formerly a test bird it was (secretly) purchased via some soild contacts in the Pentagon.
P.S.I.'s contacts from DARPA are always looking to see what else can be added to the craft and in turn be built into the rest of the standard line.
By accepting the tests P.S.I. is not only better outfitted but well paid for the help.

It could use some stickers. Overall it is slick though and I'd understand not wanting to mess up how sleek it is.

I agree with Pluv that it does need some stickers.

Yessir she is spray painted and about the stickers, I haven't found any that I think would look good.
Like pluv said she's sleek and not techincally a military bird she's more a black-ops craft.
So no affiliation to "any" Govt. since it is sort of all kind of hush-hush.
These guys don't have the luxuory of having the cavalry coming to save them they gotta do it on their own.
Most nations know of them but never admit to using them.
Especially after all the brew-ha-ha that Blackwater has had to deal with they like it that way.
They don't think they are above the law it just makes the work more interesting.

Clean looking bird. I'm not very familiar with the TRU F-22, so I don't know how much you've modded.

Have you considered some lo-observable markings, like "no step", hardpoints, or ejector seat maintenance? Even a black-ops outfit needs someone to change the oil every now and then.

Yeah, but I was thinking more of the side bays for the missles and keeping the hardpoints for the bombs.

And with money being tight right now, I've still finish the Kraken's rear gun mounts when I get back home.

Looking really sharp.
I think you should have glued the wings on though. Those things keep falling off if you don't glue them on!

Funny thing is the wings stay on just fine, it was the vert stabs that kept falling off so those are glued on.

Fair enough.
I glued mine on and then sanded the surface smooth and it's a big improvement.
You can even pick up the plane by the wingtips when it's glued on with epoxy.

I honestly had the same thought on the wings, but decided to leave them as is for storage and part of the final write-up for the customs back story.
