colin ritchie Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 From what I can see it looks to be a decent effort so far , and its a modern aircraft in 32nd so of course I'll be buying it! Oh I rather like the design of the F-35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenH Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Irrespective of the cost overruns, its inability to fullfil its contracted performance requirements, its delays that are almost as bad as the 787, its pure inability to provide what it promised its just plain ugly and not ugly in a cool way like an A380 or A-10.. At least Italeri are improving kit to kit it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacker Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hard to judge from one sprue shot but seeing that the wings are molded separate a Navy version could be in the works. As stated the VSTOL may not be possible which is a shame as it is the more interesting one , to me anyways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I agree Hacker. The B, with all the articulated panels and tilting nozzle, is the real curiosity item which appeals. The A does look to be a nice model. Might look okay in Thunderbirds livery. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeback52 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Nah! They can keep it. Dull, grey,boring, totally uninspiring and yawn inducing. Just like Spitfires in fact..............................!!!!!! Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artoor_K Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'll pick up one or two for sure. Never enough 1/32 modern jets😊 First as polish whiff, second as a USAF or IAF one😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundowner14 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 F-35s aren't painted, they're coated. There's a subtle difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Release March 2017. Source: http://www.italeri.com/news_scheda.asp?idNews=701 Quote TOY FAIR 2017 - NUREMBERG Dear Friends, Italeri, as every year, will participate at Toy Fair 2017, the most important event dedicated to the world of toys and scale models that will be held, as tradition, in Nuremberg (from 1 February to 6 February). It’s an important opportunity to present the previews of our new scale model kits planned for 2017. During the event we will be proud to present, as World wide preview, the new F-35 1/32 scale we will release on March. In our dedicated exhibition area, we will display our latest scale models, recently introduced last years, and the reference scale models of “traditional” Italeri line up. If you have planned to visit the Toy Fair in Nuremberg, come visit us at our exhibition area. Our team will be proud and happy to show all the incoming previews and our current product line up. Then, if you are our “Fan” on Italeri Official Account Facebook page, you will receive a small gift. See you soon in Germany!!! The Italeri staff.

tony.t Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Nice, and I take back my words about the grey. Actually looks quite tasty in Deft Inc 02GN084 aqua green primer. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushande Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Meeeehhhhh ..... Certainly a nice kit but, let's face it, of the most boring version of a bffff-aircraft. Unless they pop out a C-version at some point I'll invest my meager budget in something nicer. (Only way I'll ever go for this one is if ..... well actually when! the Luftwaffe is getting the F-35. Which will ultimately happen once they realice how futile their current project outlook for a European Tonka replacement will be. As the saying goes: The last one is the one to get bitten. A Luftwaffe F-35 .... yeah o.k. might really get me to get this kit) Edited February 3, 2017 by bushande Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 If they do a 'B or a 'C I might be tempted, I actually find the shape of the F-35 more pleasing to the eye than the F-22, although I wish they could get rid of the 'gaffer tape gone mad' look, surely they could make the RAM material on the opening panel edges blend in to the overall colour a bit more.
