is the stealth instantly buggered when they hang stuff off it externally?

Its flexibility. :) F-35 can do both, few other fighters have the option at all

A couple of close up shots in case anyone wants to super detail:

Gorgeous

I have this one on a poster on the wall of my office at work.

In case anyone is wondering, the access panel in front of the inlet and under the cockpit canopy is the boarding ladder. There are panels forward of that which give access to the forward equipment bays.

Cool image, the numbers on the plane don't match up though. The nose numbers should be the final 3 of the tail numbers, anything beginning with 100 is a CF-100, and we'd likely just call it the CF-35, like we call the CF-188s "CF-18s" and the CF-116 the "F-5" or "CF-5"

Other than that though, it's great!

Looks pretty sharp indeed (other than those little details you noted Alvis)

Anyone want to super detail their F-35 kit? If so, check out these: http://www.shop2000.com.tw/KASLHOBBY/product/p12540286

As an example, here is their 1/48 weapons bay:

The rumour is that the Canadian F-35A's will be cancelled, and the money spent on new ships for the Navy. But it might not be as simple as what the new Government thinks it is, so what-if the Government bought ships like Australia did, the new aircraft carriers (I know they're not really aircraft carriers, just look like one). Then Canada would get the F-35B -------------

Saw my second F-35B last Saturday while down in Yuma AZ. Not flying but on static display as the base had an open day. It looked 'well-used' too, judging by the grime on the u/c legs and any of the bay doors that were open.
