reggie78usmc Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 This is my 1/48 Kitty Hawk F-35B in beast mode. As always with Kitty Hawk Kits, fit issues were horrible. the bay doors however managed to fit ok when closing them up. Pretty Much OOB. I choose to find an aircraft that didn't have the ram panels a different color and I am happy with the result. Decals are Caracal.

SAT69 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Very nice! Are we perhaps due for a new mold F-35 series that doesn't have overdone ram panels? The pictures of new F-35s I've seen seem to point to fewer panels or making them a lot less obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Alan Bardell Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Nice looking F35 model, very good build. - Though I'm not yet in love with the actual aircraft , time will tell if it gets under my skin like the F4 and F14 did.

Their is more function in the F-35 than the F-4 and F-14 but there is a certain grace to the shape of it. It's a bit more Torino. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the paint mask for DN models but was way too lazy to apply them. I have another in the stash, I may use them on the next build but we shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Great job with getting all the gear and bay doors to fit neatly! Mine didn't even fit even with the doors open 😂 Lovely finish and the stand/mount is excellent. Good job 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
