F-22 "Maj. Joshua 'Cabo' Gunderson" 01-4023 43rd FS 325th FW Tyndall AFB (w/ pilot's signature card) in 1:72 scale
This is the F-22 "Maj. Joshua 'Cabo' Gunderson" 01-4023, 43rd FS, 325th FW, Tyndall AFB (w/ pilot's signature card) in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
Maj. Joshua “Cabo” Gunderson is a distinguished U.S. Air Force fighter pilot best known for his role as an F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team commander and pilot, showcasing the fifth-generation fighter’s maneuverability at air shows and public events around the world. While the specific aircraft F-22A serial 01-4023 is a Lockheed Martin Raptor assigned to the 325th Fighter Wing at Tyndall AFB and used in training roles with the 43rd Fighter Squadron’s F-22 fleet, Gunderson’s notable flying career has included transitions through F-22 operational units after earning his wings and combat experience, though his demo team service was based with the 1st Fighter Wing’s demo team at Langley AFB rather than tied exclusively to a single airframe. The F-22 itself combines stealth, supercruise, and advanced avionics to achieve air dominance for the USAF.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
