Stealth Viking...RDAF F-35a

Recommended Posts

A Holger Dansk for the 21st century...a protector for Denmark! This was built as part of the Nordic GB, with some great models being built over there. This was the Academy kit, with Hataka Blue line Have Glass paint (Tamiya Xf77 for the counter shade of grey) and Lima November decals to make L-001, the first Danish F-35 currently based at Luke AFB in the US. A very good kit; perhaps just pipped by the Hasegawa kit (although you do get weapons bay in the academy kit and weapons) it is also much much cheaper, so will probably stick with this kit for future projects. Getting a good feeling of hygge with this...it just went right, if you know what I mean!

Great to see a F-35 with some colour!

 

The decals were designed by Vingtor Decals, and manufactured bu Lima November. 😉

Big fan of Vingtor decals Nils! V.handy in feeding my considerable interest in the RNoAF! Just need someone to a F-35 parachute housing and a late F-5A Norwegian conversion set...

Working on that, Ralph....

By "late F-5As" - do you mean the noses?

Yes, and the fin antennas if memory serves...rather excited by the possibility of  F-35 para housing...that would be a new line for Vingtor would it not?🤔

That paint came out really well! Was it airbrushed or hand painted? One of the most effective reproductions of the aircraft I've seen so far, brilliant 👏👏👏

Airbrushed all the way

 Thanks for the kind words.
