neil5208 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Finish no2 for 2022 is Italeri's new tool F35B in 1/72, I went for this one over the Hasegawa kit as this one has the internal weapon bays the Hasegawa kit does not. Built OOB in landing trim, so the inner weapon bay doors are 3/4 open but the outer doors stay closed, I presume this acts as the strakes/gun pods did on the harrier controlling the jet vortex under the aircraft . The kit goes together well but needs some care when fitting the large intake/lift fan assembly between the fuselage halves. Painted with Mr Hobby Colour H305 Dark Gunship Grey, H308 Light Gunship Grey and then lightly over sprayed with Hakata Orange line Have Glass Grey to give the metallic sheen seen on the F35's. No weathering as these are new airframes and the ground crew will be looking after them. The decals include some RAM tape panels which I initially fitted but after checking pictures of RAF F35 I removed as they seemed to be applied to the earlier F35's that went to other countries. As usual all comment welcome and hopefully the pictures show up as I'm still on Village Photo. Edited February 23, 2022 by neil5208 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouse808 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Arh alas, I've just tried to edit the URL of the photos in one of my previous posts. Doesn't look like you can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I have the same problem, but if you rightclick on a link and chose 'open picture i another window' it works - for me at least! And Neil - it's a fine F-35B you've made! Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
