Trenton guy Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hope they will do something about those 3/4” think RAM patches but not hopeful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Glad to see an F-35, hopefully with a reasonable ability to build with the weapon bays closed as well as open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertone139 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 We'll see... They have to beat Orange Hobby's own F-35C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I resisted buying the Orange Hobby kit mainly because of the exaggerated RAM lines. Hopefully this is far more petite, or supplied in decal form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I've built the Orange Hobby kit. Getting the weapon bay doors closed takes a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the RAM panels are anything like the ones on their (Italeri) F-35B you are going to need a scalpel to remove them, and not a modelling one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 100% new moulds, I'm hoping they've corrected that.🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would not surprise me and be right down Italeri's MO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroubos Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 The Tamiya F-35A is a rebox of the Italeri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
