  1. Very challenging build on the Kitty Hawk F-35B STOVL Marine Corps Lightning. I started about eight months ago did a ton of research to find the most detailed photos. The aircraft has allot of openings so it only seems right to pay attention to the detail in each area. To give detail but not over do it. Also allot of research and test swatches on the paint. RAM panels overall paint scheme has to be very sharp and perfect it’s a challenge for the most seasoned modeller as the aircraft hast been in service that long and even carrier Ops show minimal weathering. The engine and aft underside seems to take the brunt of the weathering. I bashed the hell out of this kit replacing or reworking the engine, rear rudders, leading edge spoilers, wing flaps, vertical stabilizers, landing gear, wheels, cockpit and decals. Lots of wiring added to the weapons and landing gear bay. The kit is fair at best the surface detail on the main body upper and lower portion is there but that’s about it. If you have any questions on the build paint colours, add on kits please feel free to contact me. For other photos follow link below. https://davidpedersen.smugmug.com Challenge to scrath build proper bulkheads and ribs. Detailing landing gear bays.
