100SQN Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi, Does anybody know where I can buy F-35s and Seahawks (preferable with PE rotors) in 1/700 please ? Many thanks, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spejic Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 First, the answers that won't help you. The best styrene F-35B comes in the Tamiya Ibuki kit, a fictional variant of the Izumo helicopter destroyer. The best styrene F-35C comes in the brand new Pit Road stealth fighter aircraft set. You get two nice SH-60J helicopters in either of the most recent Pit-Road JMSDF upgrade sets (either NE10 or NE11) - they are pretty much SH-60B's with the right paint and decals. But all of these are pretty wasteful if all you want are the specific aircraft. A much more efficient way to go are the Trumpeter SH-60B, SH-60F, MH-60S, or HH-60H sets, which are also excellent but molded in clear plastic which I don't like. None of the kits I mentioned include photo etch, but almost all photo etch for ship kits include helicopter blades. I don't know any styrene F-35B or C alone sets released up to now. They exist in resin (like the amazing Orange Hobby ones), but those are at a price that makes getting the entire Ibuki kit more thinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi Simon Another alternative might be 3D Printed examples from Shapeways: F-35 and Seahawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
