Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Anything in the decal range for the “Sheep” of VMA-214 ? I will need the “B” to finish my sheep collection ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dick Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 VMA-214 Have not as yet transitioned to F-35B - last time I looked they were scheduled to transition sometime this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This kit is now available. HLJ just put the two I pre-ordered into my Private Warehouse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thoroughly, excruciatingly underwhelmed: one RAF type that I have no interest in or intention of modelling. Ever. Give me a decent 1/72th Buccaneer instead; much greater choice of colour scheme and markings..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% on the Buccaneer, and on the F-35B I also have no intention of modeling it in RAF colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I wouldn’t expect Xtradecal to come out with sets of RAF decals either. Seems like the first deliveries to 617 Squadron will have no Squadron markings whatsoever, just a “Grey doughnut” to represent the British roundel - how boring! Cheers..

GMK Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 With more F-35s built than Buccaneers (235 to date vs. 211), more operators (RAF, RN, RAAF, RNAF, RNoAF, USAF, USMC, USN, Japan, Israel, Italy vs. RN, RAF, SAAF), and more potential operations and markings, I can’t agree. Some of the USN, USMC, and RAAF schemes so far are looking pretty interesting (IMHO). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found the C-version to be the most attractive version of the F-35.

Maverick231 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) I've preordered this for my Wife. I have noticed that in the sample photos on Hannants the engine can be modeled straight down(VTOL), now my question is with the bomb bay doors not having the option to be modeled open does this mean its not accurate?

Robertone139 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Well, if it's for static display...perhaps not incorrect. You know, at those airshow statics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but no thanks. I will stick with the Buccaneer.😉. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Ive found many kits of these in a few scales, also found the "A" type. Doesn't anyone do a "C" series ? Id love to build a full fledged USN C type in some lovely subdued markings either VF-74 Be-deviler's, VF-73 Jesters, or VF-1 Wolfpack. Yes i know they're all defunct Squadrons but id still love to do a Whif scheme. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he can't get TOO accurate, or people will start to ask why the artwork doesn't reflect the actual contents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
