Modern Era — 2000s to Present

Fifth-generation stealth aircraft, post-Cold War NATO armour, and contemporary naval forces. F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II, Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault Rafale, and SAAB Gripen in low-observable and low-visibility grey schemes. Leopard 2A6/A7, Leopard C2 (Canadian Forces), CV90, and modern MBTs in NATO tri-colour and CADPAT-adjacent schemes.

Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor — USAF 1st, 3rd, 49th, 94th Fighter Wings

F-22A Raptor Block 20/30/35 (1st Fighter Wing, 27th FS “Fighting Eagles” — Langley AFB, Virginia; 3rd Wing, 90th FS “Pair O’ Dice” — Elmendorf AFB, Alaska; 49th Wing, 7th FS “Screamin’ Demons” — Holloman AFB, New Mexico; 94th FS “Hat in the Ring” — Langley, first operational F-22 squadron 2005). Have Glass V radar-absorbent material (RAM) coating — very dark charcoal grey overall with subtle panel variation. The F-22 is one of the most challenging NMF/low-observable finishes in modern modelling: the RAM coating appears almost black in shadow but reveals distinct grey panel tones under strong lighting. Key references: FS 36170 (primary grey), FS 36118 (darker panels), FS 36375 (lighter upper panels). All panel lines sealed under RAM coating, reducing visible demarcation between tones. Canopy framing in dark grey. USAF roundels in very low-visibility grey-on-grey. Notable subjects: F-22A 04-4065 (1st FW, Red Flag 2007), F-22A 05-4093 (94th FS, debut display season 2006), F-22A 09-4191 (3rd Wing, Pacific Air Forces).
