Lockheed F-35A Lightning II - Meng 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Here goes the Meng F-35A.

This is an extremely shake and bake kit.

Paint : MRP FS36170, Gunze C317, MRP Have Glass.

If you intend to build it, buy the Galaxy Models mask sheet. Please.

 

WIP :

I still have to paint the JDAMs.

Maybe I shall.

Or not.

Did I tell you to buy the Galaxy Models mask sheet if you intend to build this kit?

 

Cheers,

 

S.

I've never seen the expression "extremely shake and bake". Is that like so easy to build it's almost boring? The only thing the kit doesn't do is buy itself for you?  😃 All kidding aside, a very nicely done model. I've been tempted to pick that one up and your build and recommendation make it quite clear I need to run with the temptation and get one.

The sprues are here to stop the parts from assembling themselves in the box.

I hope Meng will do B and C versions.

And don't forget to get the masks. I'm serious.

 

Cheers,

There you go: https://www.ebay.com/itm/GALAXY-D48003-1-48-F-35A-Lightning-II-DieCut-Flexible-Mask-for-MENG-LS-007-Model/153930029183?hash=item23d6f1d87f:g:BhMAAOSw4B9eu1Rj

Now remove the sprues and watch the magic happen.

 

Cheers,
