marty_hopkirk Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Welcome. Simple but sweet. Revell made a 1/144 version, if they made it in a larger scale it passed me by. Marty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
172flogger Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I did not know Revell had ever made a version of the X-35 Revell and Tamiya reboxed the same kit - 1/72 Italeri . Revell also reboxed 1/48 Panda models F-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 David, If you're pointing the engine nozzle downwards then the lift fan doors kinda have to be open... Irritatingly, I don't think they provide an out of the box option for pointing the jet nozzle aft. Cheers, Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xffw45343tg Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yep - that would work Paul. Need to close the doors that open up under the nozzle too whilst the razor saw is out. Do the intakes change at all between vertical and horizontal flight? You'd have thought there'd be some sort of auxiliary intake to stop the thing from suffocating.
