Blue Power Jet

[Werlu Ulcur]

I'm not really into Lego airplanes, but after reading CapnRex101's review, I got very curious about the set. As luck would have it I found one for a great price and on a whim bought it. And yes, it's a VERY nice set:

The build is quite interesting, specially the wings, and as a huge bonus (to me at least), it's minifig scale . I think it does a very good job of representing the Raptor, though I would say this is a "test" version. As soon as I finished putting it together I was on BL looking for the extra parts to have it "weaponized" . It's going to take a while to receive all the orders but when they arrive I'll show what became of my F-22. Nothing outstanding, but it will look more serious. Or I hope.

Whoa, that's awesome.

Great work! Especially the cockpit looks very nice

[Werlu Ulcur]

Thanks! And yes, the cockpit is REALLY nice:

As I said, a pretty nifty set. Honestly, I didn't expect it to be so nice.

1. F-22 has two engines.

2. 99% of the time an armed F-22 would have weapons in the internal weapons bays. Weapons on the wings kind of defeat the purpose of stealth.

Hi! I'm Jonno and this is my first post on eurobricks. I've read plenty of reviews and love the forum but have never posted until now.

I absolutely love this set and decided it needed a few slight changes.

I made a few mods to the set and found some suitable pilots too! (A-wing flight suits and old x168 helmet with black visors)

1. I've also changed the back from a single afterburner like an F-35 to having twin engines like an F-22.
   
2. The rear landing gear is smaller and is now concealed with hinged covers during flight.
   
3. The engine bay has added hoses and dials.
   
4. Obviously the colour scheme has changed and a few minor other changes to the appearance of the jet have been made.
   
5. A U.S flag has been added to the tail and a tail number added on the other side.

Closer to the F-22 than before...

Shorter and smaller landing gear down

Nice.

Finally got around to modifying and making some shots of my Raptor:

Now I think it looks a bit more "serious", and as a bonus it blends pretty nicely with other SHIELD hardware .

Nice one! Looks really sharp in the blue and black.

Thanks for posting those pictures. This is now my first large non-car set :)

That's exactly what I wanted to do to this set, nice job, these creator sets are asking to be weaponized, look what I did to 31023 yellow racers set:

I know this is kind of an old topic, but I have to say, your modifications look great! Most Power Jet Mods I've seen change it to either entirely light bluish gray or entirely dark bluish gray, but I feel this removes the visual appeal; yours maintains the look while instantly becoming significantly more serious. Great job!

My two pilots

Awesome mod's.

Might have to do the shorter landing gear mod.

Got the same minifigs for my pilots as well. Though I used some Star Wars type helmets that had very conservative printing.
