Coming soon: F-22 x YF-23 adopts! (Patreon)

AUCTION WILL BE HELD ON MY FA 

Yep! Here they come, people! The F-22 and YF-23 lineup. Or the first of  it rather. I will be auctioning them off in pairs and themes this time  around. This here will be the US Air Force set, and it's all I'll be  putting up for the time being. I have Raptors and Widows in other  nations' colors underway, namely Canadian, British, Japanese, German,  Russian, and even some joke ones in the works.
 

EDIT: I may tweak the "Classic" set a bit, so they appear less shiny.
 

I hope to have the first prototype set up and ready tonight. Stand by!
 

... And I know the YF-22 had TWO prototypes. I will explain the second one's absence in a subsequent submission.
 

_________________________________________RULES
Opening bid is $25. Minimum increase is now just $1 instead of $5. Reply to next bidder's comment, not my comments, otherwise, the previous bidder will not know they've been outbid. Auction begins with the first bid, and ends 48 hours after. Herm edits are $5. Paypal only.
 

Due to observations made from friends and myself, I get the feeling the  tier rewards for the MiG-21s were what caused them to spiral out of  control into bid wars. So, to keep that from happening again (or as  often), and keeping my workload from piling up from more than it is now,  I will be eliminating the reward tiers. What you see is what you get.
 

Trivial, but I also have gotten into the habit of including decals and  tail codes to add depth to their character, indicating where they are  stationed. Like so: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe.....365179589).jpg , here is a list of fighter tail codes and the bases they're stationed at. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_.....hter_Squadrons For $5, I can have a tail code of your choosing slapped onto their 'calf' rudders.
 

Another major change will be that I will impose a temporary bar on winners.  For example, if you win this first set, you will be barred from the  second. When the second concludes, you can participate in the third, and  so on. If you miss your chances, fret not, I can still do customs, or  you can wait until the next lineup of Raptors and Widows. However, to  also keep things fair, I will limit the number of wins to 3 per person,  max. Once you have won 3 aeros in this set,  that's all you can win. Sorry, but this is to spread chances around.  Again, the wins here won't roll over to future Raptor and Widow sets.
 

Regarding a journal I posted some time back, I also will not be  implementing a bid limit or limiting the $ laid down, as both warrant  issues of their own.
