About the best thing ever done with the F-22 kit by converting it into the NATF.  Now we have two of these beautiful NATF conversions.  :)

When I first saw this concept I thought it would make for a brilliant F-111 replacement.

This link : Naval Advanced Tactical Fighter (NATF) 1988-1991

Due to Congressional intervention, the US Navy agreed to evaluate a navalized version of the US Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter (now the F/A-22) as a possible replacement for their F-14s. In return, the US Air Force would evaluate a derivative of the ATA as a replacement for their F-111s. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/natf.htm

If/When F-22 production restarts, Navy needs to consider also building this version. :)

A darn shame that the main weapons bay is too shallow in depth to accommodate the AIM-54 Phoenix.  Something I really wanted to model on an F-22 until I discovered there was no room internally to carry the things :(

So mount Meteors instead for extra range BVRRAM's or look at the folding fin AIM-47B that looks suspiciously like a folding-fin Phoenix.
