Over the weekend, Hobby Master announced a bevy of new products slated for a Winter 2025 release. While no new toolings were shown in their latest promotional leaflet, several important additions to their lineup were made, including an F-22 currently undergoing testing at Edwards AFB that is fitted with a pair of “stealth pods”, or as the military likes to call them, Low Drag Tank and Pylon (LDTP) pods. The LDTP pods could be used on the upcoming NGAD platform, as a means of increasing its range and maintaining a stealthy profile capable of defeating the latest IRST efforts being put forward by Russia and China. Each of their F-22s routinely sell well as soon as they are introduced, so the latest Raptor will no doubt help to build momentum and spur sales even after the holidays have come and gone.
Other notable additions include a MiG-29 flown by the 733rd Fighter Aviation Regiment and a sleek-looking Republic F-105F Thunderchief.
