Wolf Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Still disappointed there's no 25mm gun pod and the retractable boarding ladder omission is not ideal. AM bits will come to solve this surely. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 AM bits will come to solve this surely. Regards I agree its a bit of a 'first world problem.' Just considering the completeness of the kit the inclusion of at least the unique gun pod would've been a home run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Could also be a case that they didn't have enough good data on the gunpod yet to do it in plastic. I presume that the timescales on this sort of kit are more than a couple of months. The gunpod is less than a year old. And, as people have said, aftermarket people will sell a few of them in a couple of years, once the USMC is seen flying with them. I do plan to get a F-35B sometime.

Stalker6Recon Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I am a bit late to the party, but I just received mine yesterday. Great review, I will keep returning to the review for guidance when I begin the build. Â My only complaint would be the raised panel lines, in every photo I have seen so far, they don't appear to be rasied at all, in fact, they appear to be a V shaped concave seam. Also, I wonder how I can achieve the golden tint the real birds have on the canopy, which I understand has more to do with making the cockpit stealthy over giving the pilot some sun shade. Â To me, and this might sound crazy, but I can see a version of this with no clear canopy at all, since the pilot flies using the cameras and sensors projected onto a screen inside the helmet, there is no reason to have a canopy. Maybe pilots just arent ready to fly without the visual cues they are used too? Â Anyway, great review. I plan to build a A and C version later on down the road. In fact, since I am basically a beginner again, I might shelve this and build the other, less complex versions first. Â Cheer, Anthony "stalker6recon" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Can't seem to find a version 2.0 or 3.0 for love nor money. Are there no UK vendors taking them in? I was hoping to build my version 1.0 in a retro scheme like an original white/grey Shar.1 of 800 Sqn and get a version 2.0 or 3.0 as a modern RN bird using the new decals included. I feel a grump coming on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather the main change was around the decals with new schemes including British though there may also have been updates to the ordinance and the PE set. My main interest was in the new UK decals though if Caracal include something similar in their new set I'll just get another version 1.0 kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
